Ride4Life: A Journey of Hope and Healing

Donation protected

The Ride4LifeNW: Colon Cancer, Kidney & Heart Disease Awareness Campaign is a heartfelt initiative led by our flag sponsor, Kendall Auto Group. Dedicated to the memory of D. Kowell and L. Orsini, this campaign unites communities across Oregon through an inspiring 4-day motorcycle sidecar journey with service dog, Gnocchi.

Mission #1 – Direct Support When It Matters Most
We provide immediate, proactive financial assistance for patients undergoing organ transplants, heart surgeries or cancer treatments. Our support covers expenses for medical treatments, emergency transportation, housing costs and essential daily needs. This ensures families can focus on healing without the overhead stress of financial responsibilities.

Mission #2 – No Pet Left Behind
During extended hospital stays, pets often face abandonment. We offer free housing, grooming and veterinary care for the duration of their owners hospital stay. Our goal is ensuring pets remain safe and well-cared-for until owners are able to reunite with their beloved family members. In the situation when a reunion can’t happen, we step in by personally fostering pets and working with trusted rescue groups to ensure they find safe, loving and permanent homes.

We help keep people and their beloved companions together during their most challenging times. All proceeds go directly to the individuals and families we partner with.
