Students Give Bikes To Disabled People In Ghana


BALTIMORE (WJZ) ― For some disabled children, a bicycle can mean a new life. Students at one Baltimore County school plan to give the gift of two wheels to disabled people in Ghana. As Gigi Barnett explains, it's a class project inspired by one athlete's story.
...
Shortly after, Yeboah decided to apply for a bicycle from an athletic foundation in California. When the bike arrived, it meant freedom.

"It's changed my life totally, 100%," he said.

So Yeboah pedaled 400 miles across Ghana, raising awareness for the disabled.
...
Brendan Fowl, Danny Bredar, Kyle Rice and Ben Love decided to ask other students to donate bikes. The teens will personally deliver them to disabled children in Ghana.

"I think we're going to discover that the kids there are going to change our lives more than we could have ever imagined," Fowl said.

So far, they've filled a trailer with more than 200 bicycles. They will be accepting bikes for another two weeks. <a href="http://wjz.com/local/disabled.people.ghana.2.1524184.html">http://wjz.com/local/disabled.people.ghana.2.1524184.html</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
