Ride for Change – Fundraising Raffle

In April 2024, Dean and Johanna joined their first Hands ride across Thailand, an experience that began as a physical challenge and became something far more meaningful.

Each rider was given a child’s story to carry with them throughout the journey. For Dean and Johanna, those stories belonged to Got and Gotji. Their faces became constant reminders of why every kilometre mattered.

As Dean shared:
“We kept our cards on us 24/7 to remind us that when things got tough, or we wanted to give up, there were kids who desperately needed our help. The kids we were riding for didn’t have a choice.”

That perspective has stayed with them. What began on the road has grown into something bigger, a commitment to continue supporting children who deserve access to safety, education, and opportunity.

This fundraising auction and raffle is one small way our community can be part of that ongoing journey.
