Honouring Landon’s Legacy
Landon Hull’s passion for biking ignited at a young age, leading him to become a fierce competitor and a beloved member of the cycling community.
From his early rides around the neighbour to conquering BMX courses and hitting the trails at NICA and enduro races, Landon’s infectious spirit touched all who crossed his path.
Tragically, his life was cut short by suicide, leaving behind a void felt by many. In response, the Landon’s Light Memorial Foundation was born, dedicated to providing scholarships for students pursuing careers in mental health and wellness fields.
