So just like when I go to conference and come back and share our great alliance with Pencil for Kids and tell you about what amazing give back program we have supported while away I am going to tell you about a charity that my family and I support locally. I started helping the Nation Valley ATV Club with there Ride for Dad event several years ago. Last year my oldest daughter joined me. This year the two oldest spent the day with me and Friday night the three girls helped with set up. It is great helping out with something in our community. Many local survivors come out and help also so they get to know who it is they are actually helping them. One of the survivors is actually a former Scout leader's father. I believe this year was the sixth time the ATV club held an event supporting ride for dad. They have raised lots of money over the years with 2 of the members having diamond status in the amount if money they have each raised which is both over $10,000.
The mission of the Telus Ride for Dad is to raise funds to save men's lives by supporting prostate cancer research and raising public awareness of the disease. Our goal is for men to continue to be there for their families and friends for years to come. The parade of vehicles grabs the attention of the masses and the media on ride day, the research helps find hope for the future and the awareness has the potential of saving men’s lives today.We raise funds through large scale one-day motorcycle, snowmobile, watercraft and ATV ride events and through ongoing public fundraising throughout the year. TELUS Ride For Dad events take place in multiple cities from coast to coast all across Canada.
Ride for dad has raised 33 million dollars since they started in 2000. They had three ATV rides this year, 3 Snowmobile rides and they have 28 motorcycle rides scheduled for May and June.
This past June the 1st Ottawa held their Motorcycle Ride for Dad and it was a Poker run. They had five stops throughout the day. Got to pick a card and every stop and try and make the best poker hand possible. The first stop was the start, second stop was Morewood, Third stop the Ingleside Masonic centre, Fourth stop the point in Iroquois and fifth and final stop was the arena in Winchester. While I did have an opportunity to have a vendor table set up in Winchester at the last stop. My Family and I decided to volunteer at the Ingleside Masonic Center.
I was there along with my husband, youngest daughter Katherine and son Daniel. Victoria was in Maine for the weekend and Elizabeth was at the Scout's end of the year camp. We had coffee and treats set up. However we were working the card tables. Were each rider got to pull a card and you added it to their hand.
I love exposing my children to giving back and supporting good causes. The girls already do this with rainbow but it is great when we can do it on our own also.
