My name is Eric Cameron. I am a 51 year old first time Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge rider. I started riding motorcycles 35 years ago. I started with café cruisers, and the progressed to street bikes, and finally Harley Davidson’s. I have been with my beautiful bride for over 25 years. We have raised four children and now have two grandchildren as well. I served almost 25 years in the US Army as an Airborne Infantryman. After retirement I entered the Government contracting world, where I now run my own company managing various Government contracts for the military, veterans affairs and various other Government entities.
I want to ride the Hoka Hey as a personal journey. For many years I knew I was well honed
machine that could survive in the woods, the side of a road, or in the worst combat
conditions imaginable. Now I want to see if I still have the capability to push myself past
what would be normal limits. To see if I have what it takes to complete a spiritual journey,
that will literally take me from one end of the continent to the other. Not only will I be able
to do good for others through my fundraising, but I will also be able to do a spiritual journey
at the same time.
The charity that I chose to raise money for during the Hoka Hey is called the The Boot
Campaign. This organization is established to help Veterans in various ways. As a Veteran
who has been fighting PTSD for years, they offer services to Veterans to help them with their
own struggles. They also provide gifts to families twice a year, both at Christmas time and
in the summer. The selected families are given a full holiday experience which I think is
awesome.
