ALR Hell to Paradise PTSD Awareness Ride

Date of the event: July 26, 2024

JOIN THE RIDE

Sign up here to confirm your spot on the inaugural Hell to Paradise PTSD Awareness Ride to be held on the 26th and 28th of July, 2024. All riders are welcome – motorcycle or otherwise! The cost is only $35 per rider, and $20 per passenger – payable via Venmo link below or send a check – details below. This will be the first (of hopefully many more) annual rides to raise awareness and funds and to provide much needed support for veterans with PTSD and their families.

The 2-day ride will start in Hell (near Pinckney) and end in Paradise (on beautiful Whitefish Bay in the UP). Proceeds will benefit local charitable organizations doing amazing work on behalf of our service men and women. Mission Six Service Dogs, Bikes & Battle Buddies, and Zero Duck Thirty are the primary beneficiaries of the ride. We’ll also be supporting Wilwin Lodge, a sanctuary for rest and recuperation for disabled combat Veterans in Custer, by collecting non-perishable donations. Also, their big wish is a golf cart, so if anyone has connections in that regard, let us know!

Help us make a significant and positive impact in the lives of those who have given so much for us all. After registering, make sure you bookmark our Facebook page and website and visit often for updates about the ride, merchandise, our charities, and other associated events to support the cause.

Let’s ride together next summer so no soldier fights alone!
