I met F.K. a couple of years ago at a bike industry event and, being a newb, had no idea who he was. He was kind and humble and invited my coworker and I to go on one of their trips to see what they do and to help out, stressing that it would be a valuable working trip (i.e. not a vacation). I'm not able to go, but I was inspired by how passionately he spoke of the program. It's a great perspective for those of us the bike industry who can get lost and narrow-minded quibbling over $8,000 toys. Great story.

Thanks WBR!! On an aside, a young lady (16yrs old) here in South Africa has been riding races and doing really well (placing top 3 regularly) and has been nominated as young up and coming female athlete of the year. And it would be awesome if your readers might take moment to vote for her... but not because she is young and rides well,no, rather because whenever she rides and races she does it to raise awareness and funds for our local Cancer organisations more specifically 'CHOC' or Chilldhood Cancer. She has even completed a 100mile of nowhere to raise funds for CHOC. She is an amazing dedicated young lady who puts many adult cyclists to shame. PLEASE could you and all your fans consider voting for her, 'Lauren Varty' at http://gsport.co.za/2012-spargsport-awards-voting-hall Thanks So awesome to see an organisation not just giving but building!
