Sho-Air Cyclery, the newly opened GT stockist, bicycle shop at 8530 E. Chapman, Orange, California chose to support Wheels 4 Life through a race event on Saturday 6th September. Adding to the support were members of our “Team Wheels 4 L”, that race so that “they”, our recipients can ride. Thanks to their efforts, $500 was raised which means we can buy another 3 bicycles. This total may increase if additional donations come in post event. I will keep you posted . Thank you for your support everyone.

A big thank you goes to Christoph Fuchs and Urs Schild from Switzerland. They raced this year in the 7 day Cape Epic Mountain Bike stage race in South Africa on behalf of Wheels 4 Life as “Team Rothorn-Brienz”.

Tortour Fundraiser in Switzerland by Kjell Andersen and Stefan Huber

The Tortour Race (www.tortour.com) is a non-stop bicycle road race around Switzerland. Participants have to ride a course of 1050km/650miles and 15000m/49000ft. vertical. The course has 18 sections the two team riders alternate for a combined time.

Kjell Andersen and Stefan Huber raced in a two -men team to raise money for Wheels 4 Life. Besides their day jobs and their intense training program they also had the task of raising money and awareness for their choosen charity project.

The race was held in August 2013, after a slow start the team slowly worked their way into the top group during this strenuous race through the Swiss Alps. After 38hours and 51minutes they finished together with their support crew of five,  in a respectable 8th place in the category 2-men teams.

Congratulations for your efforts on and off the bike and a big thanks for collecting approx. $ 3600.-, enough money to buy nearly 30 bicycles!
