The Thompson Trailbreakers are looking for riders to take part in their Cancer Awareness Ride on March 8th.

Event organizer Kelly Martens says the purpose of the ride is to promote awareness of prostate cancer. He says men typically don't talk about it and dont go to doctors to get a prostate exam. By promoting awareness, hopefully more people will go to their doctors to get tested. With early diagnosis, treatment has a much better chance of being successful. 

The ride begins at 10am at the Quality Inn and Suites. Pledge forms are available there ahead of time or you can donate $20 before you ride.

For more on the Trailbreakers listen to Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10 this afternoon.
