I recently attended the stationary bike race held at the Saratoga YMCA. This event was an annual fund-raiser for the Dake Foundation for Children. We (Spikes Trikes) were a title sponsor and it was an uplifting experience to see all the teams involved.
We were especially inspired by a young gentleman, only10 years old, who participated on his trike paid for by the Dake Foundation. He made a total of 39 laps around the arena with a smile on his face the whole time. The foundation supports kids in a 50-mile radius of Saratoga Springs.
Please check them out and contribute in this holiday season of giving, and perhaps they will be able to expand the area and help even more disabled children.
