Look What They Say About Us
I absolutely love doing the rides with Arizona SXS Adrenaline Therapy. Getting to interact with veterans and first responders is amazing. Seeing the participants getting out and doing something for most of them that they have never done before is amazing. Seeing them smile, laugh, asking to get muddy or wet when water is on the trail. Giving them a break from the day to day and showing them the beautiful back roads/desert landscape. Letting them unwind and meet others and form new friendships is great to see and be apart of.
Hello to everyone my name is John I'm one of many veterans that go on rides with adrenaline therapy an amazing group of veterans and non-Veterans and volunteers that dedicate their time to take veterans and first responders and their family members on some of the most amazing rides myself I've been on many and enjoy everyone each time so if you're a veteran or family member of a veteran and want to just get out and have a good time seeing some of Arizona's finest trails and sites this is the group to ride with thank you adrenaline therapy.
I began riding with Adrenaline Therapy back in August. To say I was nervous the first time would be a huge understatement! Having never served in the military I was questioning if I would even be able to hold a conversation with my veteran rider. It didn’t take long before we hit the 1st mud hole and quickly laughed any nervous tensions away. Since then, I’ve been on as many rides as I possibly could! Seeing the smiles of excitement and new friendships on the faces of both the veterans/first responders and the volunteers makes this truly something special! Once one ride ends I’m already looking forward to the next one!

This has to be the best group to ride with! What they do for Veterans and First Responders it truly amazing! I was on the last ride at 4 peaks and it was so fun! I’d have to say my favorite part of the ride was at a stop where everyone just had a snowball fight! Seeing everyone just laughing and enjoying the day was incredible!
Another great ride set up by Jeff and the staff at Adrenaline Therapy, great turn out of volunteers and veterans.
There are not enough words to say about the joy being a part of this group brings! My Dad was an army vet and I wish he were alive to experience this. Giving back just a small part of what veterans gave for us, is an honor. My husband and I love sharing our SXS with vets, hearing their stories and most of all seeing their smiles and hearing their laughs. Each ride is different and wonderful in its own way. To meet a complete stranger at the beginning of a ride to giving hugs, sharing tears and providing hope by the end of it. Giving back to those who gave up so much for our country and helping them heal is what this group is about. I look forward to each and every opportunity to participate as well as meeting the next veteran guest. Thanks for all this group does!
Well where to start, serving in the Army for over 10 years I have been through the hard times and survived many trips to the woods to Train and train hard. I would like to thank all our Volunteer drivers and people on the ground making these rides for our First responders and Military happen. I think for me it is the smiles and laughter that so many of these individuals have not felt in so long .Feeling the camaraderie I once felt in the Military comes back and that is comforting.
You show up for the first time - nervous and uncomfortable...not knowing what to expect. Then Jeff and his crew display a highly professional and organized system that runs like a well oiled machine. Then - you ride - which lets the volume 50 of thoughts running through your head - turn down...and sometimes off! Riding, enjoying God's country that could never be seen by car, and just letting life "be". During the stops, man, the people...they make this! Connecting with complete strangers - and as the day comes to an end...walking away with what feels like a whole new family. Hands down just a life changing experience! Riding in a SxS is amazing on it's own, but coupled with this amazing organization - hands down - the best of the best. Thank you to not just Jeff but EVERYONE who donates, money, their time, their buggies....to selflessly give to others.
What this group does for First responders and military veterans is amazing. Any opportunity to get outside and enjoy the company of those with similar life experiences shouldn’t be missed. Thank you for bringing everyone together!
The veteran ride 2024 was our first time riding with Adrenaline Therapy, highly recommend Jeff and his crew were awesome and very organized, brought the family out got to meet some awesome veterans ,and first responders. Also got to meet nick from Alphawolf Motorsports , great guy also.

I would like to Thank Jeff and his staff for doing what they do. Everything they do, they do it for the Veterans and First Responders. I have been on a lot of their rides and everyone is well organized and fun. Fun for us and fun for the Veterans\First Responders.
The rides are simply a day to step back and enjoy the land around us and let life's troubles take a day off.
I can't wait for the next ride day.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CAUSE/EVENT. I HAVE TAKEN PART IN 6 VETERAN RIDES TO DATE AND EVERY TIME IS BETTER THAN THE LAST. THE JOY THESE VETS EXPERIENCE IS LIFE CHANGING. AND TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THEM OUT, TAKE THEIR MINDS OFF DAILY STRESSES, SEE THEIR SMILES...I CAN'T PUT IN TO WORDS THE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS THIS BRINGS. ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU SIMPLY MUST GO ON ONE OF THESE EVENTS.
This is my second year with Adrenaline Therapy and it keeps getting better and better. When I first joined I was wondering what taking a ride in an UTV/ATV going thru the desert and mountains could do to help the veterans we take along. Well it is really something to see the veteran open up and enjoy being out and about. Each ride has a destination that we go to and from. Many times there are a variety of wildlife to see. Other times the trails might be wet or muddy and that’s when the veterans seem to have the best times getting wet and muddy. With out fail every veteran that I had the pleasure to take in my SXS thanked me and said how much fun they had.
Thanks to Jeff and all the others at Adrenaline Therapy for all they do to support our veterans.
So we are new to the group and have done two rides so far. The last one we did, we had a staff member with us. On one of our stops, we were just chatting and our passenger said it’s so great to see the difference in our Vets when we do these rides. They are laughing and smiling and have so much fun. If you ask them in a few weeks how it was for them, their faces will light up with the biggest smiles ever’. That right there warmed my heart so much and brought me such happiness. We are the lucky ones to help bring that smile. So honored and blessed beyond words to be a part of that! Thank you Corey Darr and Paul Cailin Makowski for introducing this group to us♥️🇺🇸
I have been riding with AZ SXS Adrenaline Therapy since August of 2023. I have had some amazing times with some amazing veterans and first responders. Every time has been filled with smiles, laughter, and absolute gratitude. Not every veteran or first responder that signs up is able to make it on the day of the ride but that’s ok. I may not have a rider with me that day but I’m there for the veterans and not for me. My hope is for that veteran or first responder to know they had a spot waiting for them and the support and appreciation that will be there every time. Even if I don’t have a rider for the day, I still get to see the laughter from the mud spraying up, the incoming snowballs, the wildlife, the scenery, and the overall friendship. Thank you Jeff and staff of AZ SXS Adrenaline Therapy for all that you do to make this happen! |
Jeff,
I wanted to take the time to say a huge “Thank You” to you and your organization for the wonderful experience yesterday. Your group’s care and kindness towards and about the Veterans is extremely obvious and we thank them for their time, equipment and skills. The Veterans talked about their experience all the way home and were so “wow-ed” by it. Thank you again so much! You make a difference in so many individual’s lives.
Much appreciated!
Sincerely,
Susanne Brown
I was invited by a friend and had the best time ever! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The ride itself was awesome! I am a native to Arizona and got to see things that I had never seen before. The day is one that will live in my memories for a long time. |
My 3rd Arizona SxS Adrenaline Therapy ride in the books!
Such a humbling experience to get to be a part of. We rode from the Prescott Valley VA hospital to Crown King, it was an amazing ride!
We had 42 volunteers, 39 Veterans, 1 First Responder, and 2 VA Staff Members in total.
We had 3 Cars break, but NO ONE left behind thanks to the amazing coordination of Jeffery & Erin Kelley, as well as Nick Thompson from Alpha Wolf Motorsports, Inc. 352 Man Hours went into planning and running this event
The vet that rode with me shared a ton of stories that made me very thankful to live the life I have, reminded me that we all have it pretty damn good thanks to our vets that give their everything to make sure we don't have to do some of the things they have had to do to protect us all.
He was a mechanic that worked on tanks during war time, he described having to pull his fellow soliders out of tanks that had been bombed and/or shot at, wash the blood out, and fix them to send them back into battle.
He talked about how the dust on the trails reminded him about the convoys at night when the munition trucks, tanks, and a convoy of military vehicles that they were driving in such thick dust, and all they could see in front of them were the special tail lights designed to not be able to be seen from the sky to avoid the enemy from seeing them move at night as much as possible.
He talked about so many different positions the Army made him do throughout his career, but ultimately in the end they forced him to be a mechanic bc they said thats what he was fit for.
He told me so many stories it would take me a hour to type them out, but ultimately shared that he suffers from PTSD from his time in the military.
I asked him if the VA takes good care of our vets in there and what its like to live in the VA. He said they treat them amazing, they get 3 good meals a day, they are all super friendly, they even pack their lunches if they work outside of the VA during the day.
It was reassuring to know the VA takes good care of them, he said the majority of all the guys and gals that live there are pretty happy, but there are a ton of vets that do suffer from mental and health issues from their service as to be expected, but that they are in the right place for this time in their life.
Another cool part of these events is Arizona SXS Adrenaline Therapy gives the volunteer drivers appreciation coins every ride to give the participants that thanks them for their service so you can pick a good time to present that to your rider, which in its own is a cool experience as they appreciate them and a-lot of the keep them from all the rides they go on.
In closing, if you participated in this event THANK YOU, the smiles on these guys and gals faces, the laughs that happen, the stories told, and the meals ate are all because of you.
If you have been thinking about attending one of these events, PLEASE DO, we need all the volunteers we can get.
