2 WHEELS DOWN

AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

MICHIANA • ANNUAL CHARITY RIDE

TWO WHEELS
DOWN.

One cause. Strong riders. Standing against domestic violence & abuse.

ABOUT US

2 Wheels Down Against Domestic Violence (& abuse) is a new charity motorcycle ride based in the Michiana Area (South Bend, Indiana and surrounding communities).

We plan to hold this event yearly to help those who have survived domestic violence and abuse — supporting them as they move forward, get out of unsafe situations, and rebuild their lives. At the same time, we ride to spread awareness throughout our community.

Purple is the color of domestic violence awareness. Our riders, our gear, and our message stand strong against violence in all its forms. Real strength means standing up for others.

"If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for your children. They are in the same unsafe environment as you and it can cause life-altering effects on them too."

OUR MISSION

  • Raise awareness of domestic violence and abuse
  • Support survivors in moving forward and getting safe
  • Build a strong riding community that stands against violence
  • Host an annual charity ride in the Michiana area
