Bike Stolen from Paralyzed Athlete - Help Please!
Donation protected
What Happened
A thief stole my adaptive mountain bike on January 2nd.
Who I am and why this bike means to much to me
I'm Justin Pines. In 2016, I was paralyzed in a skiing accident. Since that day, I have been rediscovering ways to get outside and live life fully. In 2020, I discovered adaptive mountain biking and purchased a custom trike that I can pedal with my hands. It has afforded me adventures and experiences I never thought I'd have.
The goal of this GoFundMe
I am hoping to raise enough money to replace my stolen bike. If I raise more than $11,200 - or if the bike is recovered - I will donate the balance to the High Fives Foundation who will purchase more adaptive bikes for athletes like me.
