Childhood cancer affects the entire family.

Treatment can mean countless hospital visits, long drives, missed work, unexpected expenses and months or years of uncertainty. Dream Rydes in The Carolinas exists to bring support and a "Ryde of A Lifetime".

The Carolinas Why

Jillian was diagnosed with Stage 4 B Hodgkin's Lymphoma at just 16 years old. Despite the diagnosis, Jillian kept an incredibly positive attitude - "I just have cancer, I'm not dying." Jillian's resilience and strength became a huge inspiration to Megan. Megan was so thankful for all the charities supporting them during the battle. These organization's helped them with struggles one of them being transportation. Knowing it was a common struggle with patients and their families - Megan felt compelled to bring Dream Rydes to The Carolinas.

Community. Care. Compassion.

When a child needs a little extra hope, the Carolinas car community shows up. Dream Rydes partners with car clubs, first responders, local businesses and community organizations to create unforgettable Ryde of A Lifetime experiences.
