About the Event

The Hell to Paradise PTSD Awareness Ride returns for its second year, bringing veterans and supporters together in a powerful demonstration of resilience and solidarity. Originating in the town of Hell, Michigan, and ending in Paradise, this multi-day motorcycle ride draws attention to the real, ongoing battle many veterans face with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Riders from across the state join in to honor those impacted, raise awareness, and show that no one fights alone.

This leg of the journey brings the convoy through Sault Ste. Marie, where the public is encouraged to line the streets and show their support as the riders parade through town.
