2008 collection success with over 1000 bikes donated!
 
Wheels to Africa was started by a 10 year old Arlington boy, Winston Duncan, who wanted to help Africans -- young and old -- he saw in Africa whose only way to reach food, water and medical care was to walk.  He came home to organize his friends and family to collect used bikes to ship to Africa.

A donated bike is a lifeline in Africa.
