Event Description

Ridin’ 4 Mates isn’t just a ride. It’s a journey of heart, grit, and mateship — crossing three states in 30 days to raise vital funds and awareness for the Mark Hughes Foundation.
They’re riding for hope. For change. For the mates we’ve lost — and for the ones still fighting.
It all began when the loss of good friends to brain cancer lit a fire in Brad Bates, driving him to channel his anger and grief into action. Doing it 4 Mates, then Ridin’ 4 Mates, became his way of standing up against this devastating disease. Since 2022, three epic rides have already raised more than $158,000 for MHF!
