Change Children’s Lives ONE BIKE AT A TIME

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, Help Us Change Children’s Lives, ONE BIKE AT A TIME

This holiday season with the help of our supporters we are raising money to get these 4 NICU graduates their very own adaptive bikes. There is no better holiday gift than the freedom of mobility. Please join us in changing lives one bike at a time.

Our adaptive bikes mean the world to our recipients, but they’re just the start of the high-cost things they need. That’s why we’re partnering with The Funding Project, a charity started by Hal’s sister Tammy. Learn more about The Funding Project below.

Together we can make a difference!

Jaxon is a 10-year-old who weighed just 1 lb., 15 oz. when he was born at 24 weeks gestation. He spent three years in the NICU, and though his parents were told to let him go after multiple codes and complications, today he can walk. His parents say an adaptive bike would let him ride with his sister and help his range of motion and coordination. READ MORE

Andy is a 5-year-old boy born at 29 weeks. After 43 days in the NICU fighting lung infections and anemia, he finally went home, but his parents noticed he wasn’t hitting his milestones. He was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy when he was 2.5

years old, and at age 4 he was diagnosed with the most severe form of Autism Spectrum Disorder. READ MORE

Mya is a 4-year-old born at 24 weeks. Nominated for a bike by her speech-language pathologist, Mya has Cerebral Palsy and other medical issues, but is still “one of the sassiest and most fashionable 4-year-olds you’ll ever meet.” Her SLP says Mya’s two older brothers adore her and would love to be able to go on a bike ride with her.

Mia was born weighing 3 lbs., 4 oz. She had a heart defect, epilepsy, hearing loss, and many other issues. She’s had six surgeries in total —her first heart surgery was at 2 weeks old. Despite her challenges, this 4-year-old is thriving. She loves to go on fast rides, loves to swim and bike and camp, and has a little sister who she adores. READ MORE

*The Funding Project - They teach families how to raise funds for items, services, and costs not covered by insurance. They’re working to put their book, The NICU Funding Guide, into parents’ hands as soon as their babies enter NICU care. To support their efforts and raise awareness of their work, this year’s holiday recipients are all NICU graduates with special needs. Learn about The Funding Project at www.thefundingproject.org.
