A cycling adventure to the North Cape
A project for the association "Hands Up For Down", which supports people with Down syndrome (WV) to get a fair chance in our society.
For the project Cafe house "Downtown" where in the future a gastronomic training for employees with Down syndrome of HUFD will be made possible, Reinhard pedals and crosses with his bike 8 countries in 8 weeks and covers 8000km. The goal of this adventurous bike trip of Reinhard is to collect donations for this project via "gofundme".
Via various social media channels Reinhard will take you along on this tour and at the end there will be a documentary about this extraordinary journey by bike.

Kathrin Jungwirth
My husband and I have already hired two employees with Down syndrome in our company "Jungwirth Beton".
The many positive experiences from this, let us think further.
So that people with Down syndrome can also find a connection to society, we would like to run a café in Rappottenstein together with them.
We want to get them into jobs that are subject to social insurance contributions or offer young people appropriate training, which will make it easier for them to gain a foothold in the job market in their future lives.
Reinhard Carda
I have been cycling tours through Europe since 2011.
After watching the movie Biking Borders (Charity bike tour Berlin - Beijing) in 2021, it was clear to me that my next trip should be to collect donations. It should be in project in front of our doorstep where you can observe and follow the development well.
In search of such a project that I would like to support I came across the association Hands up for Down. The idea to open a cafe in Rapottenstein to enable people with Down syndrome an employment and subsequently an education I find sensational.
