Dear Friends, Family and Colleagues,
As most of you know, Amy (my daughter) and I have been fundraising for the fight against prostate cancer for many years and this is our 14th anniversary doing this motorcycle ride. Since we have started this annual ride, all of you have helped us raise a mind boggling $104,850 - all mainly personal contributions - which just goes to show what a huge impact each of us can make when we combine our efforts!
We want to "GO BIG" again this year because if this year's combined riders raise at least $144,000 the ride will have raised over $2M in it's 15 year history! We have set our initial goal this year at $5,000 as our contribution to the overall effort. It's a real stretch for our ride this year but we're up for it!
The ride will take place on May 26th, and the new format from last year will continue. The event will be limited to 200 riders and the theme is "The Amazing Ride 2.0." We'll be sent off to various sites and will have to do an activity at each, which will then eventually land us at a mystery end point for the celebration event. This should be fun again and we'll be sure to document everything to send to all our supporters after the ride.
What is our personal stake in this cause? My Dad (Amy's "Grampy") successfully beat his initial prostate cancer diagnosis over 20 years ago in 2001, and because of the advances and knowledge gained about this cancer thanks to contributions from donors like you, has remained cancer free so far.
"We're Participating" in support of prostate cancer!
Because this event is for the tens of thousands of Canadian men living courageously with prostate cancer and their families. It’s for all the men who have died from this disease and the families who have lost loved ones. It’s for the roughly 26,000 men who will be diagnosed in 2024 and everyone who cares about them.
