Christmas Bikes for Special Tykes

See that cute kid on that great bike?  He is the happiest, giggliest kid you will ever meet and I'm so fortunate that he is my nephew!  Six years ago, when he was a baby, he was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, a rare congenital disorder.  He doesn't communicate verbally or walk on his own... yet!  Last fall, though, we were able to raise money so that he could have his very own AmTryke bike that was built to accommodate his special needs.  It is amazing to see him on it and it has brought so much joy to their family!

This holiday season we are partnering with the Red Star Riders to buy three special bikes for three very deserving special needs kids.  Shouldn't every child have the chance to learn to ride a bike?  Meet Maribel, Jesus, and Jose:


You can help in two different ways:

1. Click 'donate' over on the right to help us buy these kiddos their bikes in time for Christmas!

2. Share the link for this page on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to invite others to help us meet our goal!

I cannot thank you enough!  I just keep imagining the look on their faces on Christmas morning when they see their bikes for the first time and am so grateful for all of your help making that moment a reality!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, friends!
