Three-Thousand Reasons to Smile

BIKE #3,000 given to Jude on PITTSBURGH TODAY LIVE!

There was a lot to celebrate last Thursday, as we presented adaptive bike #3,000 to JUDE & #3,001 to PAISLEY, and hit one historic milestone for the My Bike® Program!

Even more special, we got to present the history-making bikes alongside our My Bike founding sponsor, Highmark and our incredible mobility partners, Blackburn’s – both of whom have been instrumental to our impact!

Paisley’s joy was a stand-out as she “honked” along riding her new bike for the first time, and you can watch the short video by clicking here.

When Variety kicked off My Bike in 2012, we hoped to sponsor 100 adaptive bikes, so it means the world that we have now surpassed 3,000 bikes (worth more than $5.5 million) thanks to the ongoing support of so many!

Don’t miss enjoying ALL the joy and impact from Thursday:

• Pittsburgh Today Live highlights official presentation of Bike #3,000 to Jude LIVE
• KDKA and KidsBurgh – presenting Bikes #3,000 and #3,001 and reach historic milestone
• Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Goodness section) – Children take spin on bikes no. 3,000 & 3,001

Now, there are 3,001 Reasons to Smile!

But, receiving an adaptive bike is only the beginning…

After receiving his new bike, Jude’s mom, Megan kindly sent us the above photo and a beautiful message of joy, “Just wanted to share a picture of Jude on his first ride in the neighborhood with his brothers!”
