Why we do this
Our vision
Welcome to our project “FIGHT FOR THE CHANGE.”
We believe that every child in the world deserves the chance to live a carefree life. Unfortunately, there are millions of children worldwide for whom this isn’t the case, and we want to do our part to change exactly that.
Step by step. Challenge by challenge.
“Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream.”
Debby Boone
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Gandhi

2026Back in the Green HellRad am Ring 2026 for children in need.
After the success of 2025, we returned to the legendary Nürburgring. On July 25, 2026, we took on one of Germany’s most iconic endurance races again to turn physical effort into real support.
As of August 19, the campaign has raised €1,445 and remains open.
Every euro helps provide food, safety and a future for children in Rio.

2025Rad am Ring 2025Ride together, help together.
In 2025 we faced another challenge, this time as a growing team, a movement and “Fight for the Change”.
Together at the legendary “Rad am Ring”, every lap stood for team spirit, solidarity and the children in the favelas of Rio.
The campaign raised €4,580. It proved once again: when many people set off together, great things can happen.

2024Five for the Favelas545 km, five days, five countries.
In 2024, we wanted to push our limits again and do our part in helping children in need.
In only five days we cycled 545 km with our fully loaded gravel bikes, crossing five countries and over 5,550 meters of elevation. It was all for the goal of raising funds for children in the favelas of Rio.
And we weren’t alone. Our friends Jan and Philippe joined us on this journey, pushing their own limits to bring hope and support where it is needed most.
Thanks to all of your incredible support, we raised €8,268 and could provide regular meals for 106 children for one year.

2023Frankfurt Marathon42.195 km for 132 children.
2023 was the year we decided to run a marathon for the good cause.
42 km through Frankfurt. Every step burned in our legs, every kilometer pushed us further. But with every meter, we moved closer to our true goal: raising funds to provide children in the favelas of Rio with a better future.
Thanks to your generous donations, our 2023 marathon fundraiser raised an incredible €10,534 and ensured that 132 children received regular meals for a year!

2022Kilimanjaro5,895 meters to the summit and the birth of FFTC.
Kilimanjaro was more than just a summit, more than just a physical challenge. At 5,895 meters, with freezing cold and thin air, the ascent grew heavier with each step.
But Kilimanjaro was also the moment that this project was born. If we can take on such extreme challenges, why not do it for a greater cause? Why not use the strength that drives us to help others?
The long journey to the summit was shaped by determination. Step by step, breathless and exhausted, but with a clear vision ahead. A vision where physical challenges turn into real change.
This mountain was our turning point. The moment Fight for the Change began.

Where your donation goes
Our help for children in Rio
With our challenges, we support our partner organisation “Kinder in Rio e.V.”.
The association has been advocating for children and young people in the favelas of the state of Rio, Brazil for almost 60 years. Many of them grow up amidst everyday violence, poverty, and hunger. In the children and youth homes of the association, they receive the security and comfort that they so often lack.
“Kinder in Rio e.V.” voluntarily undergoes an independent audit every year and has been awarded multiple times for its transparency.
