about us

The Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live "Vancouver Island" is an organization of volunteers that dedicate their time to Save BC Men in the Fight against Prostate Cancer, a common cancer among Canadian Men. Our Primary annual event is a large spectacular motorcycle fundraising ride involving hundreds of motorcyclists from all over South Western BC and the Interior.

The main reason for this ride is to bring awareness to men and their families on Vancouver Island & Gulf Islands. The main purpose is to raise funds for prostate cancer research, education and support for Vancouver Island & Gulf Islands in BC.

Join us for the Biggest Motorcycle Ride in British Columbia, in the Battle to Fight Prostate Cancer on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
