OUR IMPACT

  • WE HAD A BLAST! THANKS FOR PROVIDING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THE COMMUNITY.

    Janie, Participant

  • WE RARELY GET TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF THERAPIES AND DOCTOR VISITS. THE VOLUNTEERS MADE IT EASY TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE TRIP. THANK YOU FOR THIS EXPERIENCE!

Empowering Adventure: Beyond Boundaries Biking Programs
Empowering Adventure: Beyond Boundaries Biking Programs

This year, we’ve piloted a new “Learn to Ride” program with WeeWheel. Thanks to generous donations from a private family foundation and a Capital Trail Outdoor Equity Fund grant, we built a fleet of bicycles suitable for riders of all levels. Combined with WeeWheel’s state-of-the-art facilities, we’ve been working to teach our participants a new skill while giving them the same sense of freedom many of us felt with our first bike ride. The impact has been incredible–many participants graduated from newbies to confident bike riders in just a few weeks.
