For those who may be new here or don't know my family's story- on July 27th, 2024, our lives changed forever. My dad's life was stolen.
One careless, impatient decision took him away- a man who was a father, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, a son, a friend, a the heart of our family. In a single moment, everything changed, and the loss we carry is something words will never truly be expressed. This loss has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.
Sadly, my family's story is not unique. Far too many riders head out for a ride and never make it home. Last year alone, there were 36 motorcycle fatalities in Southern Ontario- so many that could be prevented.
This event isn't just for my dad- it's for every rider we've lost, every family who knows this grief, and every life that should still be here.
Our hope is simple: to raise awareness, to spark change, to honour those who can no longer ride beside us and to help prevent other families from feeling the loss we live with everyday. And to carry forward the kindness, the heart and the love my dad showed we are raising funds for SickKids, a cause close to my dad's heart and one he supported to every year.
This is a family- friendly event filled with heart and community. Throughout the day we will have:
a Kid Zone | BBQ | Vendors | Classic Car & Bike Show and a silent auction.
We already have an incredible line up of one-of-a-kind vendors, amazing auction items that have already been donated and tons of fun planned for the kids.
This event is about honouring the past, protecting the future, and standing together as a community that refuses to forget. Together we can create a future where every rider makes it home.
Schedule:
• 10:30 AM- opening ceremony
• 11:00 AM- Memorial Ride (passing by my dad's road side memorial)
• Following the Ride: Donation BBQ for riders and guest
