The first 50 Mile Ride for Project Rwanda, held in December 2006, started out as a 50th birthday ride for founder Doug Grant. The goal for our original ride was to attract 50 riders and to raise $7500 (enough to fund 50 Rwandan Coffee Bikes – see www.projectrwanda.org for more info). We underestimated the response from our local mountain biking community. A total of 247 riders participated, and we raised over $30,000 for Project Rwanda.

Wheels4Life is a non-profit charity (501c(3)), that provides free bicycles for people in need of transportation in Third World countries. We partner with local individuals, organizations and other groups to help us identify persons who sincerely need a bike to be able to go to school or to work. Often these people live in very primitive and remote areas with no access or means to public transportation. The closest school, doctor or work-place might be 10 or 20 miles away. Having a bike can make all the difference in somebody’s life and can give them a chance to break out of the vicious poverty cycle. The gift of mobility, in form of a bicycles, can do miracles.
