Why we ride.
The Grateful Team raises money for kids fighting critical illnesses through Make-A-Wish Michigan. We're an eclectic bunch — first-timers, lifers, and everybody in between — bonded by bikes, music, and the belief that a wish granted is worth every mile.
Every dollar we raise turns into a moment a kid will never forget.

Why We Ride
Make-A-Wish Michigan grants life-changing wishes to kids fighting critical illnesses. When Wish kids line the road into Marshall at the finish line — cheering riders in after 300 miles — that's the moment nobody forgets. That's the whole reason.
A kid whose wish came true because our team showed up, raised the money, and pedaled every mile.

Since 2023, we've raised $265,287 for Make-A-Wish Michigan. That's real wishes, for real kids, across the state.
