Thank you for riding in Alberta’s Greatest Bike Run – Fresh Start Recovery’s Annual 12-Stop Ride for Recovery!

Last years 12 Stop Ride for Recovery was nothing short of amazing. It would not have been possible without the generosity, gratitude, and community spirit that so many brought together.

A heartfelt thank you to Steve Grover from Grover Law Firm for the incredible gift of the motorcycle and for all that he continues to do for the community. Steve’s generosity extends far beyond this event, and his ongoing commitment reminds us how powerful it is when we come together. Keep your eyes open for his Christmas party, where he will reveal next year’s motorcycle — another incredible way he gives back.

We are proud to have had Calgary Harley-Davidson as our presenting sponsor this year. Their partnership and dedication to the recovery community helped make this day possible, and we are truly grateful for their support.

We are also deeply thankful to Cochrane Toyota for hosting us at the last stop with such hospitality, and to Tecbound Technology for their generosity in helping us make this event a success.

To our clients and volunteers, thank you for standing shoulder to shoulder with us. To our eclectic Fresh Start family, thank you for the countless late nights, for picking up the load of others, and for your dedication to creating ripples of hope and healing in the lives of so many.

And finally, a giant thank you to the community — our community — for showing up, supporting, and reminding us that recovery is not walked alone.

Together, with the support of our sponsors, partners, and community, we are building something bigger than ourselves. I am already looking forward to what we will create together next year.

With gratitude,

Bruce Holstead

Executive Director
