Do you remember racing bikes as a kid? Whether it was your friend or your brother or sister, you peddled with all your might to defeat your opponent. Now imagine if you had 50+ brothers and sisters competing all at once, all sharing the only three bikes worthy of riding.

I happened upon the most epic bike race I had ever seen in my life. The kids at the Children’s Home were all competing with reckless abandon to claim the right to be called champion. Even the girls were laying it all on the line, risking life and limb. On the long gravel course, there were many lead changes and brutal wipeouts. But they were all laughing and cheering each other on. No joke, it was one of the most exciting races I have ever witnessed.

These kids love each other. They fight for each other. They have fun together! Thank you for continuing to support these precious bike racers. They are the future of Haiti!
