What started as a crazy idea i had while circling back on the mental health challenges I've had in my life just trying to think of a way to change other men’s life and now we are here.

my name is Val and along with my good friend Thomas Clark we will be doing the ride coast to coast of this beautiful country on bikes completely untrained.

While both being athletic we haven’t stepped on bikes for years leading up to this.

During the very short time we’ve had to prepare this mission we came across amazing people who gave us the bikes we will be riding.

Too many men suffer in silence. Too many feel pressure to hide what they’re going through. Too many battles happen behind closed doors without support, conversation, or hope.

This journey is bigger than biking.

It’s about starting conversations.

It’s about showing up for one another.

It’s about proving that vulnerability is strength.

It’s about reminding men across Canada that they are not alone.

Throughout the ride, we will be documenting the entire journey through social media, video content, community events, and daily updates to spread awareness nationwide and inspire others to speak openly about mental health.

Our goal is to raise $250,000 for men’s mental health initiatives and organizations that support Canadians struggling in silence every day.

Every donation — no matter the size — helps create impact.

Whether you donate, share, follow the journey, or simply support the message, you become part of this movement.

This ride will test us physically and mentally in every possible way but that’s part of the message.

We ride for the men fighting battles nobody sees.

We ride for the conversations that need to happen.

We ride for hope.

We ride together.

We ride for the men that didn’t make it.

We ride for the families who lost loved ones to mental health.

Because men don’t ride alone.

Thank you for believing in this mission.
