Sonic's Joyride has become a mission of Hope.

After 12 years of reiventing and defining indipendent music, Sonic Joyride stands behind our leader Chris Hobler in his mission to reinvent and define methodology for funding, researching, and developing treatments for all orphan diseases such as ALS.

"In June of 2001 I was finally diagnosed. ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) is one of the most terrifying, dismally under-funded and under-researched diseases known to man. The brain slowly loses its ability to communicate with the body. The body shrivels up and dies while the victim's healthy mind and family sit helplessly and watch. No one has ever survived. However, there is scientific promise on the horizon, and with proper funding it is clear that ALS can be beaten." - Chris Hobler

Chris founded ALS Hope, the Chris Hobler/James Martiz foundation. A non profit foundation with the singular mission to find a cure for ALS by funding progressive research and in the process create a new methodology for funding, researching, and developing treatments for all other orphan diseases. ALS Hope has a focused vision of a world free from ALS, but curing ALS is not our ultimate goal. It is simply a means to an end. ALS HOPE sees itself at the center of a new system that provides people affected by all orphan diseases the funding, resources and information needed to fight back and become self-empowered.
