Meet The New Rider # 1365 Chrissy Gerry

 

 

 

Hi there! I’m Chrissy Gerry, Rider #1365, and I am excited for the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge! I’m originally from North Carolina, GO WOLFPACK, but currently reside in Knoxville, Tennessee. My passion for motorcycling began at a young age when my dad would throw me on the back of his Hayabusa, and we’d enjoy some of the most scenic roads North Carolina has to offer. 

 

 

For me, the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is the culmination of my passion for riding and my quest for self-discovery.

The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge represents the ultimate test of endurance, skill, physical stamina, mental toughness, and the ability to navigate thousands of miles across the United States, absent a GPS. I want to compete in the 2026 event because I crave the opportunity to prove to myself that I have what it takes to complete such a formidable journey.

By participating in the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, I hope to inspire others to pursue their passions and seek adventure in their own lives. I want to show that with dedication, preparation, and a positive attitude, incredible goals are within reach.

 

 

This year I will be riding for To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA). TWLOHA is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 with a mission to provide hope and support for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. Based in the United States, TWLOHA has become a prominent voice in mental health advocacy, using storytelling, community, and resources to help those battling mental health challenges.

Every $45 donated provides 1 hour of care; I am seeking to raise enough funds to provide 100 hours of care for those in need.
