Welcome to the Happy Wheels Foundation!

Currently, we are standing witness to what may very well be the most devastating health epidemic of this century. This condition, obesity, has tripled in prevalence over the past 3 decades. One in three children in our country is currently overweight or obese. Along with obesity comes a variety of co-morbid diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.  All of which are anticipated to create the first generation of children expected to live shorter life-spans than their parents that will be plagued in chronic conditions.

The mission of the Happy Wheels Foundation is to facilitate children to lead more active lives through cycling while promoting healthier eating habits. Our vision is actively participating in reversing the childhood obesity epidemic this nation is currently experiencing. “Happy Wheels, not Fast Food Meals” is the message by which this organization is driven by. Bicycles are available for children to use to promote physical activity. In return, we are asking children to consume fewer fast food meals. Educational opportunities for families will be available to learn how to shop and prepare healthier meals at home. Local events will be created to encourage family exercise and have access to locally grown produce to facilitate lifestyle modifications aimed at reducing the risks of obesity.

Please join us at reversing the childhood obesity epidemic. Volunteer, make a donation, or become a part of Team Happy Wheels today!
