A New Catrike Dash!!!!!!!!!
Cole has been driving us crazy for the last year and half, begging for a bicycle. Of course, in our situation it can’t just be a regular bike; it has to also have a therapeutic function. His neurologist and his orthotist both wanted him strengthening his quads (the muscles on the tops of the thighs) so we worked with his PT and decided on the Catrike Dash.
Naturally, it costs more than our car.
Luckily, the incredibly lovely people at Variety Childrens Charity have made it their mission to make sure every kid has a bike they can ride!! So, they teamed up with our friends at Bent Up Cycles in Van Nuys and now Cole has a brand new bike! Here are the pictures. And here is the maiden voyage:
That bike is awesome!!! Love all the pictures too
We watched you on TV last night, Cole - you should be a movie star!!! It was so awesome to see you, your parents, and your wonderful, handsome Ilia! We are so proud of your cheerful determination, and excited to see you take Ilia for a walk… when you come to Va. Beach, Rocky and I would love to walk with you
~hugs, judy
You guys are such a beautiful family! And Cole you are such an example to me of hard work, determination and reaching your goals. I hope that you are proud of yourself because you are amazing! Ilia looks just like my Lucy. I know that you love him so much. Hope to see you on your next visit to Va. Beach! XO Emilie
