Motorcycle Ride For Dad
Vancouver hosted the Motorcycle Ride For Dad Charity Ride on August 28th, 2010; this year the ride celebrated its 10th Anniversary.
This event is Canada’s biggest annual motorcycle event, dedicated to fighting prostate cancer through research and awareness.
Mark Valliant, President of Great Canadian Van Lines rode in the event this year and raised $1200.00 for the cause. Mark lost both his grandfather and uncle to the disease and has a close friend with a grandfather that is currently battling the disease. Mark stated “ it’s a great charity to support and an excellent event to be involved with, and I am pleased to be a part of it.”
“Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the second most common cause of death from cancer in men.” One in six men will get Prostate Cancer and 4000 Canadian men will die from the disease this year alone.
