Swinburne Memorial Ride
DATE: June 18, 2011





In his last year of declining health, Paul worked with the children as much as he could. The children took him into their hearts as he took them into his.
Our annual fundraiser has been renamed in his honor "The b.i.k.e.Syracuse Cycle de'Cuse Swinburne Memorial Ride"
b.i.k.e. Syracuse Changing lives one pedal stroke at a time
Help us:
1.) Provide nutritious food for our meal
program
2.) Provide funds for adventure activities that allow experiential
learning opportunities for the children
3.) Provide funds for bikes, safety equipment and
repairs.
"Our youth
bike program supports education and teaches personal responsibility, achievement
and confidence through Adventure, specifically biking. We work with
disadvantaged children between the ages of
8 to 14
through a program of Adventure - bicycling and learning through
experience.
"Adventure is not only hanging on a rope on a side of a mountain or participating in a biking road ride/race or riding a mountain bike down a steep ravine.... Adventure is an attitude that we apply to every part of our lives. Facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and unpredictable; and, in the process, discovering our own unique potential."
