Two ofthe riders share their personal experience on the persecution of Falun Gong

"When I was three years old, my mother was illegally put in jail for following Falun Gong. She was in jail for one year and I could not see her. I would ask my father where is my mother and he would not tell me. He said I did not smile for that whole year."—Jimmy Ma, 16 years old

“When I was little, I lived in a constant state of anxiety and worry. I couldn’t speak out about Falun Gong, because I could have been forced to leave school,orphaned or even sent to the reeducation labor camp. I was always so scared for my family’s safety. Please support Ride 2 Freedom and save the children being persecuted in China.”—Olivia Zhang, 16 years old
