THE HISTORY
Wheels for the World is Save One Life's biggest annual fundraiser. Wheels for the World consists of many bike rides across the country to fundraise and bring awareness to Save One Life and the bleeding disorder community. The funds are used to support our mission and programs, which give direct financial assistance to people with bleeding disorders in developing countries. Our rides are a great opportunity to get outside, be active and connect with our community.
Wheels for the World debuted in 2012 when community member Barry Haarde rode his bicycle across the country to support Save One Life. Barry was inspired to give back to those living without the resources to manage their bleeding disorders. His first ride was a tremendous success and he would go on to ride a total of six cross-country rides in support of Save One Life, raising over $250,000 total. When Barry passed away suddenly in 2018, Save One Life wanted to honor his memory. This annual event recognizes Barrys contribution to the bleeding disorder community and encourages healthy and active living.
