Newton’s 1st law of physics states “a body at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an outside force”.
Uphill Into The Wind strives to be that outside force by putting bodies on bikes (BOB) and setting them in motion.
Newton’s law of motion also states that once a body is set in motion it tends to stay in motion. Uphill Into The Wind feels likewise. Once a person is on a bike, they will continue on the bike for a long, long time.
Who are we?
Uphill Into the Wind, a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation, was founded in honor of Bob Griffiths’ memory. Bob was a fun loving, active man who participated in charitable cycling events despite his struggle with lung disease. Uphill into the wind is how he felt whenever he rode, even if the road was flat and the wind calm. Although his breathing became labored throughout training, he pressed on. His focus was to challenge himself because he could. He knew that as he was fighting through training, those he was riding for were fighting for their lives. His spirit inspired many to join the cause and give patients a fighting chance.
How we can help you help others!
Congratulations for choosing the phenomenal sport of cycling!
Through your efforts many people will have a chance at better medical treatment, assistance with therapy, and a chance to find a cure.
Not sure you can afford to start the training? Road bikes are not cheap. Don’t let that discourage you from taking on the challenge to help charities fund raise for cycling events.
Uphill Into the Wind offers the opportunity of a loaner bicycle to individuals who are registered in a qualified 501(c)3 charity ride and cannot afford to purchase a bicycle of their own. The loaner bicycle will be issued to an individual in need at the start of training through the completion of the assigned event. After the finish line photos the bicycle is to be returned to the foundation for loan to another.
