'Ride for Unity' Returns to Reconnect Communities in the Middle East
"Our second event in the UAE is more focused on engagement, reconnection and resilience. It's vital for us to give back to communities through legacy programs, which is why we're returning to WellSpring and donating bicycles to start a 'Learning to Ride' after school program, carried on by volunteer parents," explained Daniel Bernard , RFU Founder. He went on to say,"Our ' ' event has incredible super humans speaking and I challenge anyone not to be inspired by them. We have Maria Conceição, the first Portuguese woman to summit Mt. Everest and holder of ten Guinness World Records, Naila Kiani , the fastest Pakistani to summit 11 of the 8,000m peaks in under three years, Dr Edith Shiro , a clinical psychologist on the 'Gift of Trauma', and so much more. We are living in tumultuous times and we really wanted to address and provide coping mechanisms and the foundations for unifying communities to get through it together,"
RFU Co-Founder, Leah Tedrow stated, "The response from our last tour has been overwhelming, and as a result, we'll be holding a week-long event in Rwanda this summer and in Miami, Florida later this winter. Sport has always been a powerful unifying force, and we've seen a huge global desire to provide a platform to revitalize and reconnect communities - especially in these incredibly divisive times. We've been honored to provide the platform for people to be heard and reunite, and it's our mission to continue to spread the message and medium for that to happen globally."
Ride For Unity (RFU) is a non-profit organization working to reconnect a fragmented world and communities through human connection and the medium of sport.
