Get Mobile Charity Fundraiser

Sunday May 4th, Registration starts at 10 AM, bike race begins at 1 PM

 

*Ride participants & vendors needed!*

 

Let's go back to your younger days, your childhood, and remember your first time you felt the freedom to go anywhere and do almost anything. For a lot of us our first taste of freedom was on top of our first two wheeled bicycle, but for many people who were never able to ride a bike, that freedom never came.  The Get Mobile ride is a 10-30k benefit ride to help a person with a disability who has never been able to ride a bike get a bike they desperately need, with whatever modifications required to ride it.  All proceeds raised go toward the bike cost and adaptations involved.

 

We are looking for everyone interested to donate $10 and (if you're a cyclist) ride with us on Sunday May 4th through Amherst & Merrimack. We are also looking for vendors who would like to set up a tent in Heritage Place (the location of the event) to promote their services to all cyclists the day of the event.

 

For more information on the ride and who we're benefitting, please visit getmobileride.com.
