Owen Soden, 2026 Lansdowne Children’s Centre youth ambassador, waved the flag to signal "kickstands up" to over 105 motorcycle riders. It was time to roll out from the Brantford Airport Community Hall parking lot and start the 22nd annual ride for Lansdowne kids, Brantford's loudest fundraiser.

Each year, a Lansdowne Children's Centre youth ambassador is selected to represent all of the clients and their families whose lives will be impacted thanks to this event. For the 2026 Charity Motorcycle Ride for Lansdowne Kids, the youth ambassador is Owen Soden.
