We raise funds and build awareness of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through motorcycle rides to St. Jude children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. Our goal is to financially help to further their mission of advancing cures and find preventions for childhood cancers.

In 2007, a group of motorcycle enthusiasts took to the road, traveling 465 miles from Peoria, Illinois, to Memphis to raise $90,000 for St. Jude. In 2019, the St. Jude Motorcycle Ride roared onto the St. Jude campus and raised $1007,150. Since inception, the St. Jude Rides have raised over $7.1 million.

Peoria is home to St. Jude’s first affiliate clinic, which opened in 1972, and the community is a great supporter of St. Jude. Founded by Peoria Sheriff Mike McCoy and Brad Wiebler.  A typical St. Jude Ride brings 250 motorcyclists with 200 passengers on the journey from 9 cities to Memphis, TN.
