The Fergus Falls Sunrise Rotary purchased an eBike and sold raffle tickets to fund bikes for local children in kindergarten through twelfth grade. The children (some with help from their families) filled out a simple form to get a bike. The children were so excited to pick out their own bikes after riding them around the local Walmart store. The raffle was a success, raising enough to pay for the eBike and 25 bikes.
Mike Heikes, a Fergus Falls native, provided bike helmets for each child. Mike previously suffered a brain injury from a car accident and knows full well how an injury can impact the body. He wants to protect others from having to deal with the struggles he faces every day.
