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.
