About R4WH

Ride for World Health is dedicated to creating a dialogue on the state of healthcare in communities across the world. By bringing together activists from across the country, we hope to inspire other medical professionals, volunteers, and communities-at-large to stand up as a unified voice for the millions who suffer at home and abroad. 

The R4WH 3,700-mile ride takes place during April and May, traversing the country from San Diego to Washington D.C. Our 2010 beneficiaries are World Bicycle Relief and HEAL Africa.

OUR MISSION

The mission of R4WH is to address global health disparities by focusing on education, advocacy, and fundraising which are addressed by utilizing a national cycling event as a vehicle for change.  Each year,
our Coast-to-Coast Lecture Series initiates meaningful dialogue throughout communities along our 3,700 mile journey.  Through our efforts, we raise significant funds to support a non-profit organization with goals consistent with our vision, and empower our audience to become informed and active global citizens.

While education is fundamental to our efforts; education alone is insufficient to generate the change we hope to see in the world.  Donor money drives global health efforts.  This year, we are proud to have
World Bicycle Relief and HEAL Africa as our beneficiaries.

Ride for World Health is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
