Ride. Train. Give Back.

This is more than a charity bike ride. It’s a day of endurance, community, grit, and purpose for riders of all levels.

On September 19, 2026, we’re riding together again!

Pedal for Purpose is more than a charity ride. It’s a community ride for cyclists, everyday riders, and anyone who enjoys time on the rail trail and wants to ride for a meaningful cause.

Whether you’re ready for a longer challenge or simply want to be part of a purposeful day on the bike, there is a place for you on this journey. Together, we’ll raise funds for Forgotten Children of Haiti and support children and families in need of shelter, medical care, and hope.

If you have the heart to ride for a cause, we want you with us.

Forgotten Children of Haiti (FCH)

Because no child should have to fight for food, shelter, or medical care alone.

For over 30 years, FCH has been a beacon of hope, ensuring that Haiti’s most vulnerable children receive the essentials they need to survive and the opportunities they deserve to thrive. From life-saving hospital care to a warm meal that fuels a child’s education, every dollar raised transforms hardship into hope. Your support isn’t just a donation—it’s a chance for a child to dream, to grow, and to believe in a future beyond poverty. Together, we can be the difference between despair and possibility.
