💜 About the Ride
On July 13, 2022, the world stood still for those who knew and loved Parker Abbott. He was only 14 years old when he was lost to suicide.
Suicide takes far too many of our loved ones. Our youth are fighting battles we cannot always see — and we must rise up, talk about it, educate, and connect people to resources and support so no other family has to experience this unimaginable loss.
The 5th Annual Parker Abbott Memorial Ride is more than a ride — it’s a movement.
We gather to:
💜 Remember Parker
💜 Raise awareness about suicide prevention
💜 Connect families to resources
💜 Fund the Parker Abbott Memorial Scholarship
💜 Stand together in hope and action
His name will live on. We will share his story. We will fight back against suicide — together.
