Established in 2000, the Ride for Dad fight against prostate cancer is committed to help save men's lives and improve the quality of life for men and their families living with the disease.
Every year, thousands of participants, supporters, and friends raise funds for Ride For Dad initiatives held in communities from coast to coast to coast across Canada. Proceeds are received by its charity, the Prostate Cancer Fight Foundation, to fund ground-breaking prostate cancer research and life-saving awareness campaigns to benefit the area where the money is raised.
To date Ride For Dad has raised over $36 million with all proceeds going to the Prostate Cancer Fight Foundation.

Did You Know?
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian men. One out of every seven men will be diagnosed with this disease. But prostate cancer can almost always be successfully treated if it’s detected early. The TELUS Ride For Dad encourages all men over 40 to see their doctor to #GetTheBloodTest.

In 2000 Ride For Dad started out with a mission to help save men’s lives and reduce the number of preventable deaths from prostate cancer. What started out as a one-day community fundraiser has grown into a national charity and network of dedicated volunteers from coast to coast to coast.
To date, the Ride For Dad has raised over $36 million dollars with all proceeds going to our charitable foundation, the Prostate Cancer Fight Foundation.
