Receiving an adaptive bike is only the beginning of the impact for our kids.

Please take a minute to read about Johnny Heubel, an 18-year old who has greatly inspired us all.

Johnny received his new adaptive bike last month at Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit, and his mother, Megan shared why this bike is so important,

“The programs that are created, in this example, My Bike, are the best things our family has had a chance to be a part of. Since Johnathan’s accident, I say this word (CHANCE) because the bike is our first-move outside of a wheelchair to liberate him with a step of independence.

We hope as a family, along with Jonathan’s first-hand team that this adaptive bike will allow Jonathan to become more mobile – for more strength to evolve within his legs. We hope riding a bike will help improve his cognitive abilities, too. The concept of, ‘like riding a bike’ helps us to take-on change in his rehabilitation with OPTIMISM!”

After Johnny received his new bike, his family presented us with this special note,

Johnny reminds us that receiving this adaptive equipment is only the beginning. Whether it’s an adaptive bike, adaptive stroller, or communication device, we are giving kids the opportunity to discover their own possibilities.

However, our need for support right now has never been more critical to fund more adaptive bikes (at $1,800 per bike) and adaptive strollers (at $1,500 per stroller).

All donations go directly to our kids and any amount will make a difference.

Supporting My Bike or My Stroller is even easier with recent updates, but we also have a form to donate by mail.

Thank you so much for being a part of the Variety Family, where it is ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!
