Our Success Stories...
“Activate is a program that promotes fun physical activity, including biking and walking. Activate has added a fun activity to my already active day. It is peaceful, relaxing, calming and pleasant to ride my bike in the evening with the air blowing in my face even in the hot days we’ve had. It is extremely rewarding to know that I can still ride a bike.” Joan Bailey, Horsepasture, VaEducation, Workshops, & Training for Nonprofits
