The Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists is hosting the fifth annual Determined Ride (formerly called Tour de Youth), a 14-day cycling tour from McAllen, Texas, to Richardson, Texas, for the benefit of students throughout Texas. This cycling tour will be a physical challenge as well as an endeavor in humanitarian efforts.

This year, in addition to the official tour, we are inviting others to Walk, Run, or Ride 800 miles on their own, over the course of a year, to help raise funds and bring awareness to he growing problem of youth and adult obesity, especially in the southern United States.

Ten out of the 11 states that have increased rates of obesity are in the south. Children between 2 and 19 years of age are recording dangerous levels of obesity and unhealthy lifestyle choices. These statistics compel us to say, "We need to do more."

Join us and Ride, Run, or Walk towards a healthier Texas!

The seventh annual Determined Cycling Tour is scheduled for April 2-7, 2023.

This physically challenging ride from Garland to Henderson, Texas, is also a humanitarian endeavor as cyclists stop at schools along the way to share the importance of a regular exercise program. The cyclists love to encourage the kids to ride bikes, of course, but are happy to just encourage them to be active.

The Centers for Disease and Prevention website shares "Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States, putting children and adolescents at risk for poor health."

Having a regular exercise program helps individuals both physically and mentally.

In addition to promoting an active life that helps both physically and mentally, the cyclists have a fundraising goal of $2,500. Proceeds from the tour are added to an endowment that will provide financial scholarships for students desiring to attend a Texas Conference school.

"We cycle for our health. We ride for their future."
