GUILFORD It all started when foster kid Noah Ehlert got his very first bike at age 13.
Decades later, through sunshine and freezing temperatures, rain, hail and dust storms, Ehlert rode his bicycle from California to Florida with one thing on his mind: Children living in foster care.
The Guilford resident’s 3,100-mile bike trek, across the lower 48, in early 2020, was four years in the planning. He documented it in his two-hour film, “Discover Your Path Tour, A Journey To Inspire.”
The two-hour film includes drone shots, heart-to-heart conversations with participants in the foster care system, as well as those that work with the children, and conversations with Ehlert. Film proceeds will go towards creating a transitional living program for youth aging out of the foster care system called the Discover Your Path House, planned for Guilford.
