As well as Wheels For Wellbeing, which helps disabled people to discover the benefits of cycling through the use of adapted bicycles, they are backing 88bikes, which supplies bicycles to girls who have been victims of human trafficking in underdeveloped countries.
Bicycles adapted by Wheels For Wellbeing allow their users to become more independent and improve their mental and physical health.
Founder Isabelle Clement is a wheelchair user and works closely with authorities on a national scale to improve the accessibility of inclusive cycling.
Her work is a source of inspiration for many cities around the world.
Thanks to 88bikes machines, girls can more easily access education or find a job. The organisation has donated thousands of bikes in the past eight years, empowering girls and young women to become future doctors, teachers, and professionals.
You can help Aurelie and Marco reach their target of €10.000 target by donating here.
All proceeds will go to the two causes they support.
