Ride Around The World! Creating Life-Enhancing Opportunities for a Diverse-Abled™ World

Adversity Into Adventure Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, officially launches with a mission to help others transform adversity into adventure led by founder, Aaron Baker, who will set out on the adventure of a lifetime.

Baker, a recovering quadriplegic, will wheel, walk, and roll around the globe, beginning June 10th, 2024, raising awareness and money for the foundations 3-R Ethos of recreation, rehabilitation and neurological research.

“We’re not just raising funds; we’re raising hopes, dreams and possibilities,” says Aaron Baker. “Every mile I cover, every story we share, and every life we touch brings us closer to a world where adversity is not an end but a new, exciting beginning.”

The Adversity Into Adventure World Tour aims to harness the power of community to uplift and support individuals facing adversity. Embodying these qualities, Baker’s message in motion will span five continents and transcend ‘languages’ and physical barriers so all individuals of varied abilities are inspired to take control of one’s life.
