You Should Feel Proud
That You Care
Dear Road Runner,
First off, you deserve a heartfelt thank you
for caring about the kids of Athletes Helping
Athletes! Like my wife Fiona and I, you can
understand how sports are powerful vehicles
for changing the world.
Now, think about what it means to introduce
a disabled child to a handcycle and you’ll see
how you can really change someone’s world.
It’s amazing! I’ve seen it many times!
We were inspired to create AHA when we saw that
most charities can’t cover the full cost of these
pricy bikes—they can run upwards of $4,500!
That’s just out of reach for so many families!
Because of generous donations from people
just like you, AHA has provided more than
703 handcycles to deserving children all
around the U.S. over the past 13 years.
Your open hearts have allowed us to never turn
away a family in-need, and that’s just awesome!!
Together, we are changing lives and making a
difference. It all starts with helping children with
disabilities Go Fast with their family and friends,
so they can break free and Just Be a Kid!
Please give today!
Sincerely,
Mike G.
Chief Runner/Owner of Road Runner Sports
