What are the Freedom Trikers of Iowa???? 

A fun bunch of people who happen to enjoy triking in every aspect. We are an Iowa Chapter of The Brothers of the Third Wheel. In May of 2006 the 1st Annual Freedom for Kids Benefit took place in Bloomfield Iowa at Promise Land Campground. It was quite the success raising over $3000.00 for Blanks Children's Hospital and The Ronald McDonald House of Des Moines. The 2nd Annual Freedom for Kids Benefit did just as good but benefitted Children's Hospital of Iowa City and Iowa City Ronald McDonald House!!! The 3rd annual will be sometime in summer of 2009 don't ya want to come check it out and help those kids out????More info on that later.

  We all love to have fun

Here are some examples of how we do that.....
