Riderflex Podcast - Guest Interview #382 - Sharon Madison

Sharon Madison, from an early age, recognized the immense potential of her mind when nourished with the right words and actions. Her journey began in the world of retail, where she became one of the youngest store managers at the Ralph Lauren shop in Cherry Creek, Denver. However, her true passion lay in competitive bike racing, leading her to secure two gold medals at the 2013 Maccabi Games in Israel and claim the Colorado Road Race State championship in 2014. Sharon's contagious positivity and determination caught the eye of a nonprofit seeking to bolster its cycling club, where she created a thriving community of cyclists who rallied around each other's goals. She also possesses the unique ability to transform adversity into opportunity, demonstrated when she founded We Ride 4 in April 2020 as the Executive Director, turning a pandemic-induced setback into a powerful platform to promote healthy kids' lifestyles through outdoor activities. Sharon Madison's journey is a testament to the potential of a positive mindset and unwavering determination to achieve extraordinary success. We Ride 4, a non-profit dedicated to promoting healthier lifestyles for children through engaging outdoor activities fosters a close-knit community among its members, sponsors, partners, and the non-profits it supports. Their collaborative spirit is rooted in strong core values, leading to the creation of unique and meaningful experiences for all community members in line with their mission. While their presence extends to both Denver and Tucson, their collective mission remains unwavering: to support children in need. With over 300 active members who have collectively raised over $200,000, We Ride 4 has made a significant impact by supporting organizations such as the Cottonwood Institute, Lucky to Ride, Pueblo Road Warriors, Multiple Sclerosis, and World Bicycle Relief.
