Riding together for the

ones who can’t.

A group of nine people, including women and men of various ages, are standing outdoors on a gravel area in front of an off-road vehicle, with trees and a cloudy sky in the background. They are smiling and wearing casual or outdoor clothing, some with jackets and hoodies, and appear to be at a recreational or community event.

“Riding For A Reason was founded for the sole purpose to raise awareness for colon cancer, and all cancers, while doing what we love to do; riding ATVs and Side-by-Sides!”

JT Gunter, President

WHY
WE RIDE

In 2014, our dear friend, Stephan Bass, was diagnosed with colon cancer. We spent our final moments with him in the company of the ones we loved, doing what made Stephan happy; riding trails and enjoying the outdoors. We took this tragedy and turned it into a community of support, coming together to help raise awareness around the stigma that is colon cancer, while keeping his memory alive.
