You can vote for the AmTryke idea once a day until the end of April at which time voting will be closed and each of the top 10 ideas will receive $50,000 from Pepsi.

Thank you to everyone who participated with a special thanks to Kelly at United Cerebral Palsy, Deb at OneCare PT and of course, our friends at AMBUCS for bringing all the wonderful bikes all the way out to Long Island for everyone to experience.

We hope to have the first bikes delivered by Christmas!  If you would like to donate to help more children get bikes of their own please visit our Long Island Bike Donation  page.  If you are not from Long Island, we’d encourage you to visit the National Wish List  and help a child from your area.

Thank you.

Mark Anderson
