Give a bike to a kid with cancer this Christmas

My wife shared with me the Christmas wishlist of kids with cancer. She got it from James Auste of the Cancer Warriors Foundation. There were a lot of items listed there, but what got my attention were the wishes of around 14 kids who wanted to get bikes this Christmas.

I messaged my friend Benji of Joven Bikes and asked her how much a kid's bike costs. According to her, a kid's bike is about P1,500 to P1,900 each while a mountain bike is about P2,800 to P5,500.

Not bad. A pair of titanium skewers costs more than that, right?

So here's the list. We need the following:

1 bike for an 8 year old
1 bike for a 4 year old
2 bikes for 2 year olds
2 bikes for 3 year olds
3 bikes for 6 year olds
1 bike for a 10 year old
and 4 mountain bikes for the teenagers.

Of course it's not enough to give them just bikes. We also need to give them a helmet, at least. As to how much this costs, I'm still waiting for Benj's response.

It's perfectly OK if you want to help but cannot shoulder the whole amount. We already have someone who's giving P500.00. That's 1/3 of a bike already. :)

And if you have a bike that you'd like to donate, so much the better!
