Help underprivileged children get there first bike
Who doesn't remember their first bike? What's the magic? Why the intense
universal desire to have your own bike? Is it the world beyond your own front yard discovered or perhaps it's because you get to go really fast, all on your own, controlled by only you? A bike is a rite of passage for a child and beyond the fun, the smile and the wind in your hair, a bike provides many things: a.. Teaches balance, strength and coordination. b.. Encourages independence with responsibility. c.. Provides a practical means of transportation. d.. Benefits health at a time when juvenile Type II Diabetes and obesity are on the rise. e.. Boosts self esteem through a sense of skill mastery. f.. Increases socialization with others who share a love for the outdoors and provides opportunities for learning about nature. g.. Stirs the imagination. h.. Puts high risk children in contact with other children engaged in productive, healthy activities. Visit us on the web and find out how you can help: http://www.turningwheelsforkids.org We are a nonprofit charity that is raising money to buy bike for under privileged children. |
