High Fives has provided:
GC2 2026 Grant funding towards adaptive dirt bike
“This grant will help me get back into the woods and return to trail riding with my friends. An e-bike will make riding more comfortable and manageable by eliminating the need to shift a traditional bike, allowing me to rebuild my skills, stay active, and continue pushing myself toward the life I had before my accident.“
