Tanner Byrne Riding for Ty

RIDE FOR TY WITH ME

As many of you know, we lost my best friend and fellow Rider Ty Pozzobon tragically this past January. We grew up together. We were rookies together coming up in Canada and he was like a brother to me. He was on tour before me and he was an inspiration to me and one of the driving forces behind my path to the PBR. As many of you also know, I have dedicated my upcoming season to the memory of my best friend. I am back with a new purpose; riding for Ty.

The Riding for Ty campaign allows friends, family and supporters around the world to pledge a donation for every qualifying ride I have throughout the rest of the season. All of the proceeds will benefit the newly formed Ty Pozzobon Foundation and its mission to protect and support the health and well-being of rodeo competitors inside and outside of the arena. With your help we can open up the conversation about head injuries and concussions, as well as mental health conditions and give hope to those who feel that they are in the fight alone.

For those of you who have been with me through this difficult time, you know just how much this means to me.

This is your opportunity to ride with Ty. Please pledge today and help to spread the word by posting the phrase below on your social media accounts. Together we can raise funds to help others who are suffering in silence.

In memory of @TyPozzobon please help @PBR @TannerByrne raise funds & awareness for mental health conditions. Visit https://pledgeit.org/tanner-byrne

Thank you so much for your support.

ABOUT THE TY POZZOBON FOUNDATION

Ty Pozzobon will be a constant reminder that we can do better for the sport of rodeo. Injuries and accidents will never be completely preventable. Pushing rodeo towards advancements through education, injury protection equipment, along with the creation of standardized injury protocols and creating a culture that talks about mental health issues instead of pushing them aside could someday mean that rodeo competitors do not have to suffer a loss like that of Ty Pozzobon again. That is the ultimate goal of the Ty Pozzobon Foundation.
