We adopted Leila from China in 2015 and found her to be non-verbal, suffering from malnutrition, having Global Developmental Delays, and severe autism. She is an absolutely tender-hearted soul who loves movement and being outside.  This bike would allow us to take Leila on rides to better understand and appreciate the world around her.  This bike will allow her to engage in an activity that would otherwise be impossible for her.  When she was younger, Leila loved to ride in a bike trailer attached to one of our bicycles, or a "toddler" 3 wheel bike with a handle for us to push her on.  

Therapy goals: For Leila to gain a better understanding of the world around us by traveling by bike outside; to have Leila gain confidence on a bike, to have Leila develop better motor skills; to have Leila get some healthy exercise; to allow our whole family enjoys bike rides together.

At Adaptive Sports Connection we want every child who could benefit from an adaptive bike to be able to make their dream of owning one come true. That is why we come alongside families to help them raise the funds they need.
