WHEEL HEROES, INC.
MIAMI, FLORIDA

Mission Statement Our mission is to focus directly on kids that are unable to ride bikes due to mental or physical disabilities. We believe that every child should enjoy the same opportunity to get out and ride bikes. We are working with a manufacturer in the USA to offer safe, stable and stylish choices for kids with lower levels of ability, providing them a new form of mobility, exercise, therapy and most importantly, the joy of cycling. For over 15 years, Florida Realtor Anthony DeNito has been donating a portion of every commission he’s earned to the Children’s Miracle Network which benefits OUR CHILDREN right here at the Miami Children’s Hospital. In 2013 Mr. DeNito’s new found passion for cycling, his interest in personal challenges and receiving the gratification and satisfaction of always doing more for his community, inspired him to create the DeNito’s Ride for Kids. How we affect our community – DeNito’s HELPERS Thought the past few years, DeNito’s Ride for Kids and its volunteers (DeNito’s HEPLERS) have been a helping hand in its community. From painting and landscaping local public schools and clinics to delivering food to needy families on Thanks Giving to clean up jobs on state owned museums and gardens, DeNito’s HELPERS believe in community service. Wheel Heroes - Shorty Forty - Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 - SIGN UP NOW Dwayne was diagnosed with ALS in 2016. He was a professional body builder, avid cyclist, life coach and personal trainer. With the help of his wife Sheila and his determination to make the best of every situation, he continued cycling with the use of a generic trailer. Because of the trailer’s flat bench and lack of support, DeNito’s Ride for Kids recognized the need for a custom chariot and went to work. Anthony’s Brother, John DeNito, fabricated a custom chariot to Dwayne’s exact size and needs. When Ivanna was born, doctors gave her 10 months to live. For her first month of life, she experienced 20 to 60 seizures a day. She has a rare genetic mutation called KCNQ2 Epilepsy and Autism. She has cognitive and intellectual disabilities, developmental delay, innocent murmur, intermittent strabismus and cerebral palsy. She was able to sit up when she was three, stood for the first time when she was four, and started walking with a walker at six. This bike will help her build strength and motor skills to help her walk. When Amanday was 18 months old, she was involved in an accident resulting in trama to her brain which left her paralized on her left side. She has little use of her left leg and no use of her left arm and little torso control. She had never ridden a bike before but within 40 minutes, she was riding on her own for the first time. Her dad says that she’s doing great now and riding completely on her own. Now he would like to participate in our upcoming cycling events.
