Georgia Teen Raises $30K, Donates 400 Bikes to Kids Through Pedal Forward

A teenager from Alpharetta, Georgia, founded a nonprofit called Pedal Forward after a local retailer cut its community biking programs. The initiative has raised over $30,000 and donated 400 bicycles to children in need. Free cycling skills clinics have helped approximately 350 kids learn to ride. The organization has already expanded its reach to Tennessee and New York. Pedal Forward is now planning to extend its humanitarian efforts internationally, with Vietnam as its next target.
