To support the Power of Bicycles and to empower students, endurance athletes Rebecca Rusch and Patrick Sweeney conquered the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro by bike in 2016. Without assistance, the pair scaled and biked down Africa’s highest peak at 19,341 feet – and raised $20,000 to help mobilize students through World Bicycle Relief.

After they reached the summit, they visited a school Kakamega, Kenya, to see the revolutionary role Buffalo Bicycles can play in the lives of students. Their efforts were captured on film by Red Bull.

Rusch, a longtime supporter and fundraiser, has dedicated many efforts toward helping spread the Power of Bicycles over the years. Rebecca’s Private Idaho and the Be Good Foundation have raised tens of thousands of dollars for World Bicycle Relief’s work.
