Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis Donates Cars to Wy’s Rides

Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis helped make the hospital stays for young children with cancer that much more bearable with a donation of 7 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL children’s pedal cars to Johns Hopkins through the new non-profit Wy’s Rides.

Wy’s Rides delivered 20 ride-ons (wagons or cars) and to Johns Hopkins Medical Center, which will allow patients tethered to 24-hour IV medications the chance to get out of their treatment room. Bryan Rex, founder of Wy’s Rides, commented that during his two-year old son’s treatment “[you] see a lot of kids who have both parents working, or from single parent situations, so our ride-ons allow these same kids the chance to get out of their room with only one adult, or nurse, or volunteer.”

“Since the basis of Wy’s Rides is ride-on and car focused, it’s a natural partnership”, said Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis President Brian Fader. “This is an organization dedicated to meaningful quality of life improvements for hospitalized children and we’re excited to be furthering the mission.”
