There are many worthy causes that deserve our support - and this event is built around providing financial support to worthy charities. Perhaps nothing harms our society more, however, than child abuse. Wheels of Justice is committed to doing something about this. Wheels of Justice is a confederation of individual cyclists and cycling teams around the world helping to put an end to child abuse. Cyclists and teams everywhere are wanted and encouraged to raise their voices in support of this effort by being part of the confederation. The confederation has more than 700 individual members and the following team members.

With all the many good causes demanding our help, it is appropriate to ask, “Why child abuse?” Child abuse is perhaps more prevalent and more devastating than any disease or societal ill confronting our country. It is hard to believe, but more than one in seven children in Utah will be sexually abused before they turn 18! This is to say nothing of the other pernicious forms of child abuse.

The Mi Duole Cycling Team was established in 1984 and is one of the longest established road cycling clubs in Utah. The is thrilled to be hosting the 12th Annual Canyons Challenge.
