Tri to Change the World, Inc. (TCW), a Hudson-based kids' fitness charity is currently seeking donations of gently-used bicycles as part of their charitable outreach program.
Each summer from Memorial Day until Labor Day TCW sponsors the Summer-Long Kids' Tri Experience, a virtual triathlon geared toward getting kids moving and teaching the value of community outreach.
Children 18 and under all over the US can participate in the event by setting goals to swim, bike, and/or run miles to raise funds for charity.

This year, youth who raised funds through cycling are donating their dollars to buy bikes for the children of the Lakota Indian Nation in Wanblee, SD.
Co-founder of TCW, eight-year-old Rob Moody of Hudson, WI said, "We need bikes. If you have a bike you aren't using any more, we will take it and give it to someone who can't afford one."
