What is it?

The Biking for Congo Challenge invites anyone who can ride a bike (or even walk or run!) to participate. Throughout the entire month of October, participants aim to cover 50 kilometers (31 miles). That’s the distance some people in DR Congo travel on bicycles just to reach a hospital when they’re sick or injured.

​

  • Nursing Education: Help send 20 nursing students to school with a $6,000 donation.
