Matt chose to participate as a Hoka Hey challenger to raise money for charity, while also challenging himself. Challengers ride 10,000+ miles to raise money for their chosen charity, and they are challenged to do-so within 14 days. This endurance ride takes riders through all weather conditions, twisting and turning through some of the most beautiful least traveled roads in North America. The riders are not permitted to use electronic mapping or navigation and must stay on a very strict designated route. Many riders sleep every night outside by their bike, regardless of where they are or what the weather is like. Last years, these riders raised $1,050,000 for charities across the United States! This year, the donations we collect at Classic American Thunder Cycle, will benefit a local charity "Hogs Helping Heroes" - who work to help veterans in the surrounding communities. This is their mission statement to tell you a little about the H3 group - to donate to this fundraiser directly to the Hogs Helping Heroes - click this link to be directed to the donation site for them - Donate to Hogs Helping Heroes
Mission Statement
No veteran rides alone.
We stand beside veterans and their families when life hits hardest—providing hands-on help, financial relief, and real community that doesn’t vanish when the fundraiser ends.
Through outreach rides, service projects, and open-hearted gatherings, we tackle the everyday burdens that weigh heavy—while joining forces with local champions to build bridges to housing, food security, mental health, and brighter holidays for those who’ve served.
feel free to check them out on their website at https://hogshelpingheroes.com
