PROJECT MOBILITY CYCLES FOR LIFE INC

Description

Project Mobility was formed in 2002 by Hal Honeyman. Hal's interest in adaptive cycling (bicycles for people with disabilities) was spurred when his own son Jacob was born with Cerebral Palsy. Hal wanted to find a way for Jacob to join the family when bicycle riding. After Jacob's needs were met, Hal found a demand for adaptive cycling, and this led to the formation of Project Mobility.

A nonprofit organization, Project Mobility hosts two annual fundraisers and adaptive bike giveaways (Everybody Rides and Hops for Hope) and offers recreational events at hospitals, schools for children with special needs and rehabilitative centers - such as Shiners' Hospital, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Access Chicago, Illinois schools, the University of Illinois, Independence First, Great Lakes Adaptive Sports, Molloy Education Center, and Fox Valley Special Recreation. At these events, our professional staff works with families, rehabilitative professionals, and organizations to promote better health, independence, socialization, and most of all the freedom of mobility through the experience of riding a bike.
