Ride for Hope

13th Annual Ride for Hope 2026 planning has officially begun. 💛

One of my favorite parts of Ride for Hope is watching it all come together.

Today was spent with the amazing team at Sun Harley-Davidson, talking through ideas, logistics, and all the details that help make this event possible. Every year I am reminded that Ride for Hope is only possible because of the people who believe in the mission and are willing to stand beside us.

We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Sun Harley-Davidson and excited to have them host both the start and finish of this year’s ride.

September 19th will be here before we know it, and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together.

Thank you for believing in Ride for Hope.
Thank you Mark, Brandon and Ryder

One Ride. One Community. One Mission.

Let’s make this year’s ride one to remember.

Who’s riding with us this year?

This picture says it all.

Ride for Hope was born in 2013 on my daughter Brianna’s sweet 16th birthday. What started as love and loss has grown into a community, a safe place, and a reminder that no one walks this journey alone.

This ride has never been just about motorcycles—it’s about hope, connection, and honoring the fighters, survivors, and our angels who ride with us every mile.

As we head into year 13, my heart is full, my purpose is clear, and my passion is stronger than ever.

This year, we ride louder, love harder, and carry hope further—because Ride for Hope isn’t slowing down, and neither am I.

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to all. May you be blessed with family and friends and may we remember our loved ones who have gone before us❤️

🌟 A Message from Ride for Hope 🌟

At Ride for Hope, our mission is simple and sacred:
to stand with our angels, to support those who are struggling, and to hold the families left behind with unwavering compassion.

To anyone walking through the darkness of loss or the weight of survival, I see you. I’m here for you. You are not alone on this road.

I call myself a warrior because I have had to fight for a new life after losing my daughter and my husband. I’ve gone to battle with myself more times than I can count—fighting to breathe, to hope, to rise again. And through every scar and every step forward, I’ve learned this truth:
we are stronger together.

Along this journey, I’ve met other warriors, other soldiers of the heart—who are fighting battles no one else can see. And I have been blessed with the honor of walking beside them, supporting them, and reminding them of their own resilience.

Ride for Hope exists for all of us, for the hurting, the healing, the brave, the exhausted, the surviving.
We ride for love.
We ride for remembrance.
We ride for hope.

And today, as always, my heart is with you.

You matter. Your journey matters. And you are held, by this community, by love, and by hope that still rises.

Much love
~Babs

It’s OK to be a strong, powerful woman—
to stand tall in who you are,
to take up space without apology,
and to grow into the fullness of the woman God designed you to be.

Psalm 139:14
I’m fearfully and wonderfully made.
