From Sherri Deschamps

On Saturday, June 24, 2006 the Prostate Extreme Team will be looking for motor head enthusiasts in the Flamborough area to come out and join fellow riders from across Ontario to raise awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer Research.

The ride will begin at the Flamboro Valley Campground and travel the scenic back roads of the beautiful Flamborough Region

A minimum event pledge of $50 is required along with a $25 entry fee, which includes a hot lunch after the ride, extensive prize table and a great opportunity to meet other motorcycle enthusiasts all riding for a great cause from all over Ontario.

Prostate Cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in men. Prostate Cancer affects one in seven men in the course of their lifetime. If left untreated Prostate Cancer can be life threatening, however with early detection, cure rates are as high as 95 per cent. All men over the age of 40 are potentially at risk and should speak to their doctor about annual testing.

The Prostate Extreme Team is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising both awareness and funds for the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada and is please to announce the second of three events for its 2006 “Tour of Hope” fundraising campaigns.

The Prostate Cancer Tour of Hope consists of a “Tour of Hope Snowmobile Ride," a “Tour of Hope Motorcycle Ride” and a “Tour of Hope ATV Ride."
