Year after year, Cornwall based www.bikersagainstbraincancer.org just keeps growing. In 2010 they had 54 riders (including Mayor Bob Kilger along for the ride). Last year, they almost doubled to 105 riders in Cornwall as well as a ride in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto and collected & nearly $25,000 in combined rides collected that went toward brain tumour research . This year the Cornwall ride is again taking place Saturday, June 16th from 9-4pm (with Sunday as a rain day) in the parking lot of Earthway Family Chiropractic at 812 Pitt street (next to Wilson's funeral home). A pancake breakfast will be offered from 9-11 (courtesy of the Kinsmen club of Cornwall) and an afternoon post ride BBQ from 2-4pm & is open to all members of the public. In addition, Dr. Paul Poirier (the fundraiser's founder) has convinced his favorite French Canadian rock singer, "Marjo" to afiliate herself to the cause as well. She'll thus be riding with him this year. She will also be present for the pre-ride fundraiser supper at Au Vieux Duluth on Wednesday June 13th from 5-9 pm open to one and all and moneys collected all day and night will be given to the M o n t r e a l Neurological Institute's research department. A special menu will be offered from 11 am to 9 pm and the event will be CO-MC'd by Dr. Poirier and his worship, Mayor Bob Kilger. Dr. Poirier's brain surgeon, Dr. Petrecca will come down from McGill University and be on hand from 7pm onward. The public is thus invited to join in anytime from 11 am to 9 pm on Wednesday June 13th and so a motorcycle is thus NOT a requirement to get involved with this important cause. The fundraiser this year is honoring a local child, Devon Payette, who's undergone 3 brain surgeries and he'll be in attendance at both the supper and ride. Also note that a brain cancer documentary film, titled "The Test of a Man" (www.testofaman.com) is being made and partly filmed at the Montreal Neuro highlighting that there IS life beyond getting diagnosed with cancer! The documentary is being filmed bilingual simultaneously and is narrated in French by "Marjo" and in English by Ian "Jethro Tull" Anderson.
