Ride for Dad fundraiser kicks off this weekend

 

Get out the snowmobile and ride for a good cause.

 

The Telus Snowmobile Ride for Dad is this Sunday, with proceeds from the event going toward prostate cancer research.

 

Kelly Martens from the Thompson Trailbreakers is helping organize the event because he wanted to try something different than the typical fundraisers.

 

“We were looking for something different to do, rather than fundraising for our own club. We were looking to do something for the community, and we were put in contact with these people. And we looked into it and we decided it was something that we wanted to try and do. Last year we tried it out, we did a chapter agreement with them, where we weren’t directly affiliated with them, but it worked out pretty well so we thought we’d try doing a full-on Ride for Dad event.”

 

The Ride for Dad will start at 10 am from the Quality Inn & Suites, with registration opening at 8.
