Focus: Bike4Life 2008

Cycling the open road

Sixty-nine cyclists aged 18 – 58 pushed themselves to their limits in late December 2008. Travelling from as far away as Canada, France, Holland, India, the United Kingdom and the United States, they gathered to participate in Bike4Life — a rigorous six-day, seven-night adventure, in which they cycled 550 kilometres from Mumbai to Goa along the Konkan Coast. Their journey was motivated by a desire to help communities around the world benefit from the work of Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FOCUS).

In preparation for the event, participants spent months raising funds and spreading awareness of FOCUS’ work in their home countries. They organised gatherings and activities for friends, family and colleagues that highlighted the humanitarian and disaster management achievements of the agency.
