New Prosthetic Hand and Bike
Donation protected
My name is Clay, I'm 24 and live in Marrickville. 12 years ago I lost my arm when I was shot by a clumsy hunter, and for years afterward I never got on a bicycle because of lack of confidence and fear. After an amputation, it's not like riding a bike.
Two years ago I found a manufacturer in America who designs bike prosthetics especially for arm amps to ride mountain bikes. I begged my parents for help and covered the rest myself to buy a beautiful titanium Lynskey mountain bike and the engineered arm, the most expensive thing I've ever bought. Since then, riding has been my passion.
On Saturday the 19th of November, the bike with my prosthetic hand attached was stolen by some low-life while I was visiting my parents. Bike theft being the way it is, there is little chance of it being returned, especially one as recognizable as mine.
Clarence St. Cyclery has been wonderful in helping me set up a new mountain bike; and the prosthetic manufacturer says he can make me another hand--but it's not cheap.
So I ask you to please help me cover the cost of a new bike, a new hand and a much bigger lock!
