ABF NC Triangle Ride For Kids To find a cause and cure for Pediatric Brain Tumors When Ride for Kids began in 1984, the diagnosis of a child’s brain tumor was a virtual death sentence.

The Ride for Kids program is a national series of motorcycle rides that supports the work of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Our mission is to eliminate the challenges of childhood brain tumors by funding medical research and family support programs. Approximately 28,000 people in the United States are living with the diagnosis of a pediatric brain tumor, with 13 more children diagnosed each day. Because there was very little research being done into the disease, treatments were ineffective or harsh, and most children did not survive to adulthood. Since then, motorcyclists have helped the PBTF change that reality. Their efforts have made us the world’s largest non-governmental funder of pediatric brain tumor research. From developing improved treatment options to offering college scholarships to brain tumor survivors, Ride for Kids is dedicated to making a difference in children’s lives. In 2022, Ride for Kids celebrates its 39th year of raising awareness and funds. Our fun-filled, family-friendly rides will take place in 37 locations across the country, featuring moving stories from local brain tumor survivors and their families. We invite you to be part of the solution to the problem of childhood brain tumors. Ride with us to cure the kids!

REVER Million Mile Challenge

From July 1st through September 13th, Ride for Kids Day, this community logged over 1.1 million miles in the REVER app — and turned them into research funding and real support for families facing a childhood brain tumor diagnosis.

Thank you to every rider who showed up. And to , , , , , , , and for backing every mile.

The road to a cure is long. Good thing this community likes long rides.

What began as headaches and clumsiness for 8-year-old Janson Herring quickly turned into a devastating diagnosis that has changed his family's life.

No destination too unnecessary. No detour too stupid. No map left unbooped.

Sooooo… we’re doing this again. In 2022, I set off on what was supposed to be a one-and-done Coast to Coast motorcycle ride while raising money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

Apparently I’m not very good at “one-and-done,” because here we are at Coast to Coast 5: The Final Chapter. Lol. This Friday, Fast Eddy and I hit the road for two weeks through 9 Northeast states, raising monies for the kiddos at the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

Those 9 states will also take me from 40 to 49 states ridden by motorcycle — every mainland state checked off, with only Hawaii left to boop.

If you’d like to support the ride, donate, share this post, or just follow along with the shenanigans, I’d appreciate the hell out of it.

Calling on our motorcycle community to help us honor one of our own.

On Sunday, September 20, the American Legion Riders of Post 116 will say goodbye to our Brother Eugene “Gene” Johnson. Gene was a Vietnam-era U.S. Air Force veteran, a proud member of American Legion Post 116, and an active member of our Riders family. He was larger than life, quick with a joke, and someone who truly valued the brotherhood he found among fellow veterans and Riders.

Gene’s memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM at Bryan Lee Funeral Home, Angier Chapel, 300 E. McIver St., Angier, NC.

Following the service, we will give Gene one final ride from the funeral home to American Legion Post 116, 6400 Johnson Pond Rd., Fuquay-Varina.

We would like to invite all motorcycle groups, clubs, independent riders, veterans, and friends of the riding community to join us for this final ride and help us give Gene the sendoff he deserves.

We expect to depart the funeral home at approximately 3:00 PM. Please arrive early enough to stage your motorcycles and be ready to ride.

You did not have to know Gene personally to ride with us. This is about what the motorcycle community does best: showing up for one another when it matters most.

When we arrive at Post 116, we will continue celebrating Gene’s life with a memorial gathering, sharing stories and remembering our Brother together.

Please share this with motorcycle groups and riders who may want to join us.

Sunday, September 20, 2026
Memorial Service: 2:00 PM

Congratulations Bill!

🎉 Congratulations to Bill Reda, winner of our RFK Photo Challenge! Bill and his family have supported the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Ride for Kids since 1999, after his son Liam passed away from a brain tumor. In Liam's memory, Bill restored a 1969 chopper and rode it in Ride For Kids events for 15 years — a rolling tribute to his son and to every family walking this same difficult road.

Bill's decades of dedication reflect the heart of this community: showing up, year after year, for the families still fighting. Thank you, Bill, for standing by families like your own — and thank you to every RFK Photo Challenge participant and to the entire Ride For Kids community for riding toward a cure together. 💛🏍️
