🤷♂️Why it matters:
Over 40% of women in Canada experience intimate partner violence.
Many don’t survive.
The ones who do? They need refuge. Resources. And real hope.
This ride is for them.✌
Why I Ride
"I ride because I survived.
I ride because there was a time I couldn’t speak, couldn’t leave, and couldn’t see a way out.
I ride for the version of me who believed the lies, stayed too long, and forgot what it felt like to feel safe.
And now with fire in my chest and freedom in my fists I ride for every woman still stuck.
For the ones planning their escape in silence.
For the ones who haven’t said a word out loud, but feel the scream building in their soul.
I ride to show them what it looks like when you take your voice back.
I ride to raise money for the places that catch women when they finally say “I’m ready.”
I ride to carry stories. To carry hope. To remind the world that we’re still here and we are rising.
This is why I ride."
