On March 6, we lost René Landry to a decade-long fight against prostate cancer. René joined Welland County Motorcycle Club in 1987. René created the Mustache Ride, a fundraiser supporting prostate cancer research and awareness. Through Ride for Dad Niagara, the Mustache Ride has raised more than $66,000 for prostate cancer research in the Niagara Region. He also raised funds through Bike Fest, supporting youth mental health initiatives at Pathstone Mental Health and the Hope Centre.
René did not want a traditional funeral service. Instead, he asked for a gathering where friends and family could come together, listen to some good old classic rock and share stories. On Sunday, June 7th, we will gather at Welland County Motorcycle Club to celebrate René's life. A memorial ride will leave at 11am, followed by a celebration of life from 1-5 pm.
All who knew him are welcome to come by, remember him, and raise a glass.
