Created in 2008, the Montreal Chapter experienced difficult years in the beginning. Led by Daniel Séguin the results were unfortunately inconsistent. Daniel was able to persevere and attract dynamic, like-minded people to increase the number of participants and donations to the Montreal organization supporting research against prostate cancer. To date, the Montreal chapter has raised nearly $338,000.00 dollars for the fight against prostate cancer.

Established in 2005, the Golden Horseshoe Motorcycle Ride for Dad has raised over $600,000 dollars for the fight against prostate cancer. The proceeds from our annual events are invested in ground-breaking prostate cancer research and life-saving public awareness campaigns of the disease and the importance of early detection. Our chapter is a grassroots community partner with many local sponsors taking part in our chapter’s success. We are always looking for volunteers and we encourage you to get involved in the fight against prostate cancer!

Let this evening serve as a reminder that you don't have to face this journey alone.
