From the Race Organizer
Virtual Charity Bike Ride Ride a Bike | Save a Life | Change the World In 2026, Save One Life is excited to launch Wheels for the World as our largest and most inclusive virtual ride yet, bringing together our global community to celebrate our 25th anniversary. This fully virtual event allows participants to ride on their own schedule and in their own space, whether in their neighborhood, at a fitness center, at home, or alongside fellow community members. Participants can track their mileage while cycling in their local community, or riding independently. No matter where or how you ride, every mile counts toward our shared goal of making this our biggest virtual ride ever, with participants from at least 25 states. Recognizing that many in our community are unable to ride a bike, we are expanding our definition of “wheels” to include multiple modes of transportation so that everyone can take part. This year, we are especially excited to introduce a cross-country motorcycle ride as part of the initiative, continuing to grow the reach and impact of Wheels for the World. Proceeds from Wheels for the World support Save One Life’s mission, including helping provide transportation for children in our partner countries. Every mile fuels hope, directly supports children in need, and brings communities together. Whether you are riding with friends, participating virtually, or cheering from afar, your involvement makes a real and lasting difference. How you can support: 2. Donate or Fundraise - All proceeds go toward life saving initiatives and direct support for those in need. 3. Join our Virtual Ride - No matter where you are, you can ride with purpose from anywhere in the world. Together, we ride for more than just the miles — we ride to save lives!

Wheels for the World consists of many bike rides across the country to fundraise and bring awareness to Save One Life and the bleeding disorder community. The funds are used to support our mission and programs, which give direct financial assistance to people with bleeding disorders in developing countries. Our rides are a great opportunity to get outside, be active and connect with our community. Wheels for the World debuted in 2012 when community member Barry Haarde rode his bicycle across the country to support Save One Life. Barry was inspired to give back to those living without the resources to manage their bleeding disorders. His first ride was a tremendous success and he would go on to ride a total of six cross-country rides in support of Save One Life, raising over $250,000 total. When Barry passed away suddenly in 2018, Save One Life wanted to honor his memory. This annual event recognizes Barry’s contribution to the bleeding disorder community and encourages healthy and active living. Please email ariana@saveonelife.net with any questions.
