FUNDS RAISED FOR 750 BIKES

It started with a conviction back in January that if we were going to bring our sophisticated, lightweight bikes to India to ride 2,000 miles to raise funds to rebuild Umri Christian Hospital, we ought to at least make sure that those in India who need bikes for basic mobility in their village outreach work should have bikes, too. Before we ride, let's make sure those who are on the front lines every day have a ride!

Well... Friends across North America have helped us raise funds to reach our goal of 750 Indian-made bicycles @ $50 per bike. THANK YOU! Atlas and Hero bicycles will be purchased locally in cities and towns across India, contributing to the local economy. We know that this will make a significant impact in lives for years to come.

Any further funds contributed for bicycles will now be applied to the hospital construction fund.

Thanks for your interest & involvement. Help us rebuild Umri Christian Hospital. Check back often for updates. Learn more @ www.bikeindia.org.
