Community involvement
Years of participation in community and disability-support efforts built the foundation: show up, help practically and make room for people to take part.
WISDOM WEALTH COMMUNITY WISHING FUND
25 years of community support. One mission: include every child.
For more than 25 years, our community work has been guided by a simple belief: kids with disabilities should be able to participate, make friends, build confidence, spend time with family and experience the world alongside everyone else—not watch from the sidelines.

Participation has always been the point.
Across more than two decades of community involvement, the people behind this initiative have supported disability-focused community work, inclusive experiences, family participation and the international cycling-challenge tradition that inspires our next chapter.
Inclusive bike rides
Our current focus is building inclusive rides and local adventures where kids with disabilities can participate directly with families, volunteers and supporters.
Ride the world together
Our long-term vision is to grow destination rides around the world, helping more children share the road, the adventure and the finish line.
BELONGING · ACCESS · CONFIDENCE · FRIENDSHIP
Build experiences kids can actually join.
