Mark Saturday, May 10 on your calendar and take part in an incredible ATV adventure of a lifetime, raising funds and awareness for male breast cancer.

On that day, Four Wheelin’ Women will host its eighth annual ATV charity ride for male breast cancer awareness. After losing her father, Hans Sauer, to breast cancer in 1998, Nancy Ord, the founder of the Four Wheelin’ Women, wanted do something in memory of her dad.  She also wanted to educate the public that breast cancer is not gender specific, as most people seem to think.

The inaugural ride took place in Elliot Lake in 2001. Eighteen women took to the trails for a day filled with adventure and camaraderie and raised over $3,500 for the Sudbury Cancer Centre.  

The seventh annual event last year saw 157 participants and over $18,000 donated to the mammography unit at Barrie’s Royal Victoria Hospital.  

This eighth annual ride is sure to be the biggest and best to date. The Maitland ATV Club is excited to be the hosts for this year’s event and have guaranteed a fabulous day of ATV trail riding and camaraderie. Deer Park Lodge and Bayfield Village Inn, in the picturesque community of Bayfield, are the hosts for overnight accommodations. Participation response has been fantastic with the anticipation growing for this exciting event. Don’t miss out on a guided ATV tour, thanks to the Maitland ATV Club, through the picturesque Central Huron and Ashfield-Colbourne-Wawanash areas.

Please feel free to register online now at www.FourWheelinWomen.com. Space is filling up fast, so do not miss out on this fabulous fundraiser. The more funds participants raise the better their odds are of winning great prizes.  Funds raised this year will be donated to the Mammography Unit at Stratford General Hospital.

Grab your partner’s, neighbour’s or friend’s ATV (okay, you may have to ask them first) and join the ride. Beginners or advanced riders, no experience is necessary as organizers cater to participants at all levels of ATV riding skills.
