This is not just a ride
This is a reason.
This is your call to action
Can you hear me?
Why we ride?
For someone that is running out of time.
Our Uncomfortable Missions. Just a Dog. Just a Man. Just a machine.
A Journey of Awareness, Gratitude, Life, Promise. The uncomfortable reality nobody wants to talk about .
Let’s be honest for a second.
This is a conversation nobody wants to have.
You don’t want to read this.
You feel it already, it’s uncomfortable.
You’d rather not not think about it.
Look at something lighter. Easier.
Ask yourself why.
Because right now, you know, this exact second, someone is sitting in a room or in an hospital bed hearing:
“There’s no organ available.”
That’s it.
No plan.
No timeline.
Just… wait.
Over 100,000 people in this country are doing exactly that.
Waiting, attached to a machine that gives you hope, alone.
And some of them won’t make it through the day, week, month.
Not because doctors failed.
Not because medicine isn’t good enough.
Because people didn’t say yes.
That’s the part nobody wants to say out loud.
So I will.
People die waiting… because we do nothing and we stay silent.
And we do nothing, we stay silent because it’s uncomfortable.
Because it forces you to think about death.
About your body.
About something you don’t control but you could.
So you push it away, not my problem.
But here’s the truth:
Sickness doesn’t care.
It doesn’t care who you are.
It doesn’t care how strong you think you are.
It doesn’t care about your plans, your job, your family, your religion, your politics and how good your health insurance is.
Sickness the "Great Equalizer" It shows up anyway.
And when it does… everything changes.
I know that because I shouldn’t be here.
I’m alive because two people made a decision.
My mother…
and someone I will never meet who checked a box at the DMV.
That’s it.
That’s the difference between me being here… or not.
Let that hit you.
A stranger made a decision, and I get to live.
And still…
we avoid this.
Why?
Two years ago, I lost a friend.
He didn’t lose a fight.
He ran out of time.
He was not aware of other options.
For others suffering wasting their life attached to a machine the call never came.
Because someone, somewhere, never made a decision.
And that’s when it stops being “just a topic.”
It becomes real.
And here’s the part that’s hard to hear:
If you do nothing… you are part of the problem.
Not deciding is still deciding.
Silence has consequences.
That why we are here:
A man.
A dog.
A motorcycle.
We ride because talking about it once a year isn’t enough.
Because people are dying while we “don’t feel like thinking about it.”
So I’m asking you—straight:
What are you waiting for?
Register as an organ donor.
Talk to your family.
Say it out loud.
Make the decision.
Today.
Not when it’s convenient.
Not when it’s “the right time.”
Today.
Because one day…
this won’t be some post you read and forgot.
It’ll be someone you know.
Someone you love.
And when that happens—
you won’t care how uncomfortable it feels.
You’ll only care about one thing:
Why didn’t I do something when I had the chance?
My story is your story.
My ride is your ride.
We ride for the ones who can't ... yet.
