A JOURNEY OF HOPE

This is the bike program’s 10th year as they head into their annual ride, the Tour de SiiHasin.

SiiHasin means “hope” in Navajo, and the ride brings the community together as an act of cultural connection and healing. The program was started by only a handful of riders to address suicide prevention on the reservation and has evolved into a community-led act of strength, wellness and togetherness.

The family of riders continues to grow larger each year celebrating the simple fact that everyone should be able to experience the joy and freedom that only a bike can bring.

Brian Hall’s Ride with Parkinson’s

Brian Hall is many things—a published author, public speaker, loving partner, friend, community caretaker, and a devoted cyclist. 

Brian’s symptoms of Parkinson’s disease started at age 14. His high school basketball coach noticed his movement was being hampered by intermittent foot cramps, as he ran the length of the basketball court.

This was the beginning of a very long and frustrating medical journey. For years, the uncertainty of Brian’s condition left him with a great deal of fear and doubt about his physical future.

Then, in 2013 almost 20 years later he got a bicycle, and his entire world changed

The Texas 4000

Feeling a part of something bigger than yourself, and knowing that it matters always, was so important for this ride.”
