Hyundai's Drive for Hope

To show the environmental advantages and performance of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) while benefitting kids with cancer, Hyundai Motor America launched the Hyundai Drive 4 Hope.  As the official car of Hope on Wheels, Hyundai’s major pediatric cancer program, a Hyundai FCEV Tucson will travel more than 4,500 miles coast to coast for kids with cancer.  During September National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Hyundai Hope on Wheels will award a total of $7.1 million to children’s hospitals nationwide. During its national tour, the Hyundai Tucson FCEV team, Zafar Brooks and Joe Foster will stop at hospitals across the country, collecting colorful handprints from childhood cancer patients and survivors along the way. By the end of September, the vehicle will have collected hundreds of handprints from children around the country, each representing a personal story about a child’s battle with this deadly disease.

The kickoff happened with a handprint ceremony at UCSF Pediatric Hematology/Oncology in San Francisco on September 1st. Through the month of September the Hyundai Tucson FCEV will travel over 4,500 miles through 15 states.
