On the final stretch of the KIWL charity cycle ride, riders departed Nanao and headed toward Kanazawa. They were greeted at the finish line with cheers and high-fives from the Mirai no Mori team and program graduates, followed by a welcome party. This joyful conclusion brought the incredible journey full circle, as riders connected face-to-face with the very youth their efforts were supporting.
Graduates gave moving speeches in both English and Japanese, reflecting on their personal growth through Mirai no Mori and their involvement with KIWL.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who rode, supported, donated, and cheered, near and far!
