River Valley Trails' Limitless Cycling Program Receives $50,000 Grant from Inclusa Foundation

Hudson, WI — October 23, 2024 — River Valley Trails, Inc. is thrilled to announce that its Limitless Cycling program has been awarded a generous $50,000 grant from the Inclusa Foundation. This pivotal funding will be used to expand the program's fleet of adaptive outdoor equipment, including the addition of state-of-the-art Action Trackchairs®, and to transition into offering year-round services for individuals of all abilities.
 

The Limitless Cycling program provides adaptive cycling experiences for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and others who can no longer access the outdoors independently. The addition of Action Trackchairs® —motorized all-terrain wheelchairs designed to traverse rough landscapes like trails, snow, sand, and more—will significantly enhance the program’s ability to offer off-road experiences, enabling participants to enjoy greater mobility and freedom in nature.
 

Matthew Stepaniak, Executive Director of Limitless Cycling, shared, "This grant from the Inclusa Foundation allows us to serve more people in new ways. We are excited to add Action Trackchairs® to our fleet, which will help break down even more barriers to outdoor access, regardless of the season. Whether it's a ride through the park in summer or navigating snowy trails in winter, our community members can now connect with nature year-round."
 

With this grant, Limitless Cycling will not only expand its equipment offerings but also offer adaptive outdoor experiences through all four seasons, providing critical year-round access to the outdoors. This is a major development in fulfilling the organization’s mission of creating inclusive outdoor spaces that bring joy, connection, and well-being to underserved populations across the St. Croix River Valley.
 

The Inclusa Foundation's support represents a vital step in bridging gaps for individuals who often face challenges in accessing adaptive equipment and opportunities for outdoor recreation. By funding the purchase of adaptive Action Trackchairs® and supporting the year-round initiative, this grant ensures that Limitless Cycling can continue to meet the diverse and evolving needs of the communities it serves.
 

River Valley Trails, Inc. and Limitless Cycling are grateful for the Inclusa Foundation’s continued commitment to enhancing quality of life and inclusivity through its support of programs that empower individuals and foster community.
