Motorcycle Ride for Dad

To date, the Motorcycle Ride for Dad has invested over $5 million in research, awareness and education across Canada.

Come ride with us on May 30 for the first Niagara Chapter Motorcycle Ride for Dad and join the fight against prostate cancer!

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men, but with early diagnosis, 90% of prostate cancer cases can be successfully treated.
Riders and supporters will gather at Queenston Heights (the start and end point of the ride) and proceed on a 250-kilometre ride in Niagara. Riders raise money through pledges and these monies, along with sponsorship dollars, will be directed to the It’s Our Time Campaign in support of the Walker Family Cancer Centre, scheduled to open in early 2013.

The Motorcycle Ride for Dad is Canada’s largest annual motorcycle event dedicated to the advancement of prostate cancer research and education.

The Niagara Region Police Association is coordinating the Niagara Chapter. Co-Chairs for the 2010 Ride are Joe Maggiolo (also a Director, Greater Niagara General Hospital Foundation) and Damian Parrent.

“As co-chair of the Niagara Chapter of the Motorcycle Ride for Dad committee, I am humbled and honoured to be able to play a small role in fundraising for prostate cancer care in Niagara,” says Joe, a Staff Sergeant with Niagara Regional Police. “Please join us on May 30 and help make our inaugural ride a fun and successful event benefiting all the men of Niagara.”

Planning for the 2010 Ride is well underway but riders and volunteers are still needed.
