The Ride 4 Life: Colon Cancer, Kidney & Heart Disease Awareness Campaign is a heartfelt initiative led by our flag sponsor, Kendall Auto Group. Dedicated to the memory of D. Kowell and L. Orsini, this campaign unites communities across Oregon through an inspiring 4-day motorcycle sidecar journey with service dog, Gnocchi.
Mission #1 – Direct Support When It Matters Most
We provide immediate, proactive financial assistance for patients undergoing organ transplants, heart surgeries or cancer treatments. Our support covers expenses for medical treatments, emergency transportation, housing costs and essential daily needs. This ensures families can focus on healing without the overhead stress of financial responsibilities.
Mission #2 – No Pet Left Behind
During extended hospital stays, pets often face abandonment. We offer free temporary shelter, grooming and veterinary care for these animals. Our goal is ensuring pets remain safe and well-cared-for until owners are able to reunite with their beloved family members. In the unfortunate event of reuniting not being possible, we personally foster as long as needed and work with local rescue groups to find loving permanent homes.
Mission #3 – Healing Through Connection
Emotional support is crucial during medical treatments. Our certified service dog, Gnocchi, visits patients to provide comfort and companionship. We also deliver plush Gnocchi lookalikes and updates about their pets in our care, reinforcing the bond between patients and their furry friends.
The date is approaching fast and we’re making preparations. Don’t miss out!
