The Ride for Mom is an annual motorcycle ride to raise awareness of domestic violence through a one day motorcycle ride.
Who are we?
This ride is the first motorcycle event in support of Alberta Victim Services in the towns we have stops. We have created this event with the vision of having rides coast to coast to raise funds to stop domestic violence across Canada.
Why have we come together?
Women are too often faced with situations of domestic violence, and Ride for Mom is one of the voices speaking out for the victims. Ride for Mom will not stop until we help all victims of domestic violence regain control of their lives and to live in a world free of harm.
With your help, we can spread the word to motorcycle riders from all walks of life to mount their bikes, rev their engines, and bring the issue of domestic violence into the open.
Domestic violence affects everyone, so let’s work together to end it.
What is our goal?
Our goal at Ride for Mom is to end domestic violence in all its forms through educating, empowering, and challenging all members of society to stand with women and not against them. We encourage everyone to break the silence and help Ride for Mom be the voice for victims too afraid to speak for themselves. As a community and as a society, we cannot remain silent on this issue. Our silence is a form of condoning violence towards women, children, and seniors that allows it to endure.
What can we offer?
We can invest our time, energy, and volunteer resources in the event. As non-profit groups, our ability to contribute financially to the event is limited.
Each organization has their own independent network of contacts, as well as their own independent web site and/or social media channels to support promotion. We are interested in creating unique participant experiences that help educate the public about domestic violence and what shelters do.
Our Vision:
With your help, we can spread the word to motorcycle riders from all walks of life to mount their bikes, rev their engines, and bring the issue of domestic violence into the open. Domestic violence affects everyone, so let’s work together to end it.

Statements of Purpose:
Our purpose is to assist Alberta Victim Services to end domestic violence. Thousands of women, children, and seniors require assistance from these organizations every year, and too often, those faced with situations of abuse feel they have no voice. The Ride for Mom is the voice to help victims regain control of their lives and to live in a world free of domestic violence.
