IT STARTED WITH SARAH
Ride For Your Life began in 2022 after Sarah Debbink Langenkamp—a mother and U.S. diplomat—was struck and killed while riding her bicycle just weeks after her family had been evacuated from Ukraine, where they had been serving.
What began as remembrance launched a movement. The first event resulted in the bipartisan Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Safety Act in the U.S. Congress. Other events and more change followed—in Colorado, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Sasketchewan, Canada.
Ride For Your Life is now a national nonprofit organization working to expand its impact—developing this movement, strengthening its partners, and helping save lives nationwide.
Your support powers what comes next: more events, more advocacy, and more change.
