RIDE FOUNDER
Brantford's loudest fundraiser, the Charity Motorcycle Ride was founded over 20 years ago by rider and fundraiser Bob Caissie.

The Ride for Lansdowne Kids fundraises in support of Lansdowne Children's Centre Foundation, and the programs and services accessed by infants, children and teens with physical, communication and/or developmental additional needs/special needs, and their families.
