I’m thrilled to be riding in my second Hawaiian Ride for Youth, and honestly, it’s a privilege to be part of something so meaningful. This event isn’t just about the kilometers we cover—it’s about coming together as a community to support young people who are facing some of life’s toughest challenges. Mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and even suicide risk are a real and growing concern, and the work that Youth Focus does is absolutely vital.
Being part of Team MACA, who have proudly supported the Ride since 2014, makes this experience even more special. It’s a reminder that social responsibility isn’t just a buzzword—it’s about showing up, giving back, and making a difference where it really counts. Today’s world can be tough on both youth and adults, and I believe we all have a role to play in creating a future where people feel supported and valued.
I’m proud to ride alongside such passionate people and to contribute to a cause that truly matters. Every conversation, every dollar raised, and every pedal stroke helps bring hope to someone who needs it.
