What is Mountains for Medicine?
Mountains for Medicine is an initiative that was started by DAVENPORT and Sports Outreach with the goal of sustaining the Nia Davenport Medical Clinic which provides high quality medical care in hard to reach places. The gospel message from Jesus of restoring hope and transforming lives is being shared in the community through the medical center, serving all who come for help, healing, and care.
This June, a team of cyclists will be riding 310 miles from Winston Salem, NC to Virginia Beach, VA for the purpose of raising awareness and financial support for the ongoing sustainability of this medical clinic that will save thousands of lives!
One testimony of impact has led us to build a permanent place for high quality medical care in Kampala and Gulu, Uganda.
