I’m riding 10,000 miles to save lives — and I need your help.

This summer, I’m taking on the legendary Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge — a grueling, cross-country endurance ride spanning more than 10,000 miles of unpredictable terrain, all on two wheels. No GPS. No hotels. Just a rider, a road, and a mission.

I’m not doing this ride for glory. I’m doing it to raise money for Texans for Greater Mental Health (T4GMH) — an organization working to bring innovative, life-saving mental health solutions to Texas and beyond.

Why This Ride?

The Hoka Hey isn’t just a test of endurance — it’s a spiritual journey. It’s about grit, honor, and pushing through pain to find purpose. That’s the journey so many of our friends and loved ones are on when they’re fighting for their mental health. This ride is my way of showing up for them — mile after mile.

How You Can Help

Every dollar I raise goes directly to support T4GMH’s mission to transform mental health care in Texas. Your donation will help:

Back research that brings hope and healing
Fund education and outreach for Texans and their families
Support legislative advocacy for psychedelic therapies

If you’ve ever known someone who struggled with their mental health — or if you’ve struggled yourself — this cause is for you.

Join the Ride

I’ll be documenting the journey along the way — the highs, the breakdowns, the breakthroughs. Follow along, spread the word, and if you can, donate what you can.

Together, we can change the way we treat mental health — one mile, one policy, and one life at a time.

Let’s ride.
