Hello, my name is Dawn Davis- Ladybug#1064. This will be my second time with this challenge.
I have been on a bike since I was kid. Riding on the back or front of my dad’s 1969 Electra glide.
He always asked if I wanted to go for a ride. Of course, I said yes! I also have an uncle who built
bikes from the ground up choppers, three wheeler and such. So, let’s just say motorcycling has
been in my blood. so now I get to ride with my Husband Steve (rider #954) - we share in this
journey together and I would not have it any other way! I also get to have my Baby sister
Brenda (rider#1117) to share in this journey. I can’t wait to see how this year turns out. I’m
open to what life has to offer me.
To the new riders some advice is, less is more, meaning don’t over pack. And like Beth and
Junie say this is not a race but a journey for you to discover your limits, and strengths and push
yourself outside the box you built around yourself. This great country has a lot to see and
experience. Whether you believe in God or a higher power you will witness so many good, sad,
beautiful things and places, and people. The 2022 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge we did not meet any
mean people. People love hearing our story, I can’t wait to hear your story, now go!! ride your
great story! It is how you greet life daily. My Mom just passed away a few weeks ago and she
loved what Hoka Hey stood for, she thought every Rider who took time out of their life to ride
for a charity of their chosen were very special people. So just know you have a very special
angel watching over you.
The charity I am riding for is St. Jude in honor of two very special Angels who will guide their
parents in this challenge. St. Jude has done so much good for the kids that are struggling with
cancer! Kids have this strength deep within and they draw from this to get though treatments.
No child should be going through this. I am riding for these angels that endure this horrible
disease. At least I can ride for 10,000 miles to make it a little easier for them. So, their parents
or loved one don’t have to worry about food and a place to rest their heads at night, or a
wagon so they can transport their babies easier to and from treatments and appointments.
KIKSUYA (Lakota) means remember. So, remember the children who did not make it. They will
be guiding us on this journey. And this is for the little warriors that are still fighting.
