Why does the Ride for World Health take place in April and May?
The Ride for World Health was founded by a group of fourth year medical students who have the months of April and May off from their clinical rotations. Currently, the ride is continuing to be held at this time as there are still a significant number of medical students involved. Many people who participated in the 2006 ride either took a leave of absence from work or were in a transitional year and had the time free.
