Hope on two wheels: Trelenberg cycles for sick children!

In Cologne, everything currently revolves around a very special project that is dedicated to the well-being of seriously ill children and young people. Erik O. Schulz, the mayor of Hagen, is taking over the patronage of Oli Trelenberg's impressive fundraising tour, which started with the aim of supporting the aid organization “Wünsch dir was”. This organization fulfills long-awaited wishes and ensures that sick children get a piece of hope back, as schwaebische.de reports.

The 58-year-old Trelenberg, not only a tireless cyclist, but also someone who has experienced personal blows of fate, is committed to a good cause with his tour. In 2013, Oli learned of his own cancer, which brought him many challenges. But that didn't stop him from discovering his passion for cycling. He began cycling for physical activity in 2009 and has since cycled almost 5,000 kilometers per year. Loud oli-radelt.de He has been traveling since 2014 to raise awareness about cancer and to collect donations.

A journey full of courage and hope

After successfully overcoming alcohol addiction, Trelenberg is now committed to helping others going through similar struggles. On his fundraising tour, which takes him throughout Germany, he talks to people and explains his mission. What is particularly impressive is the support he receives from celebrities such as former Federal President Horst Köhler, who has already spoken to him about his cause.

He describes the tour as a kind of therapeutic tool - cycling is not only good for his body, but also his psyche. “Every day I cycle is a good day,” says Trelenberg. However, he currently finds himself on the poverty line because his health restrictions are putting a lot of strain on him.

Caring community

The donations collected through the tour go to an account set up specifically for this purpose by the city of Hagen. This approach has proven successful; an impressive 100,000 euros have been collected in recent years. Support that is urgently needed to help the children and young people affected.

Another important aspect of the project is the collaboration with the “Aktion! Kinderseele” foundation. This is committed to removing taboos about psychological problems among children and young people. According to the foundation, many children and young people suffer from mental illnesses that are often not recognized in a timely manner. Timely help is crucial. The foundation itself only finances its own programs and does not offer individual psychosocial counseling. Those affected should first contact their family doctor, as ächte-kinderseele.org suggests.

So Oli Trelenberg is more than just a cyclist - he is a symbol of hope and change. With every kilometer he cycles, he brings the light of a better future and inspires many to stand up for others.
