Let’s help spread the word for Tianna. ❤️

Tianna is just 12 years old, from Osoyoos, and is currently at BC Children’s Hospital battling a rare form of cancer.

This year, the 3rd Annual Legacy Fundraiser is being held in support of Tianna and her family. Since Tianna is a dirt bike rider herself, they’ve added a Poker Run to the event — and we’d love to see the motorcycle community come out and show their support!

Riders, drivers and supporters are all welcome.

Let’s get the word out and show Tianna and her family that their community is behind them.

A special shout-out to Blair's Sportswear for doing up Clyde's name bar for us, completely free of charge. We really appreciate you helping us make his vest extra special!

And a big thank you to Andrea Belanger (Mom) for taking the time to sew everything onto Clyde's vest for us. ❤️

Our community is really amazing!

It was such a pleasure to meet Clyde and his family, and we were honoured to be able to present the family with a $500 donation, along with a few special gifts for Clyde and his three siblings.

One of the highlights of the evening was getting to present this little man with his very own vest!

We hope we were able to bring some big smiles and create some special memories for Clyde and his family.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, rode with us, donated and helped make the evening so special.

Stay tuned for updates as we continue to support this little family. If you're able to donate to their cause, their GoFundMe link is below. You can also follow along with Clyde's journey here: Hope for Clyde - MLD Awareness

Many of you have been following the journey of little Clyde, a funny, loving 4-year-old who is courageously battling Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare genetic disease that slowly damages the brain and nervous system.

Clyde and his family travelled to Milan, Italy, with hope that he would qualify for gene therapy. Sadly, they received heartbreaking news that his disease had progressed too far for treatment.

While that chapter has closed, Clyde's story is far from over.

Today, the family's focus is on keeping Clyde as comfortable as possible, giving him the best quality of life they can, and filling his days with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

As a community, we have an opportunity to rally around them.

If you are able, please consider making a donation to help support Clyde and his family as they navigate this incredibly difficult journey. Every contribution helps provide the care, equipment, therapies, travel, and special experiences that will make a difference for Clyde.

Donate here:

UBAKA is also honoured to be organizing a Ride-By for Clyde. We're currently planning the event and will share all the details as soon as they're finalized. We hope our members and the community will come together to show this incredible little boy and his family just how much they are loved and supported.

Please share this post. Together, we can help ease some of the burden on Clyde's family and remind them they are not walking this road alone.

It's been a few weeks since our 2026 Poker Run, and we wanted to take one more opportunity to thank everyone who came out to support UBAKA Kelowna.

A huge thank you to Kelowna Harley-Davidson for once again hosting our event and helping make the day such a success.

We'd also like to thank our incredible sponsors and supporters:
Sun City Liquidations & Auctions - Kelowna, Action Septic pumping, Upside C***r, Great Western Brewing, Prestige Hotels & Resorts, Sunbelt Rentals, Stingray Media, Jet Black Mountain , The Def Leppard Thing and Nic & Biggies Bar-b-cute-rie.

A special thank you goes out to Pat Alguire and Dallas Crockett for your continued support and everything you do to help make this event happen. We truly appreciate you both!

Because of all of you, we raised $6,623.73 this year. Every dollar helps us continue supporting local charities in our community and helping kids who have experienced abuse, we couldn't do it without the generosity of our riders, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who attended.

Thank you again for making this year's Poker Run a success. We can't wait to see you all again next year!
