“One of Emily’s dreams is to learn how to ride a bike, and this week she finally did it! A big shout out to the iCan Bike Camp; Emily knew how to ride her bike in five days. The joy and pride we felt when she rode her bike for the first time were indescribable. This program works because it begins with adaptive bikes, and by the end of the week, the rider transitions to riding as independently as possible on their bicycle.

I was so thankful to see how supportive and encouraging Emily’s volunteer buddies were. They seemed to cheer her on so hard from the beginning, which made the whole experience unforgettable. Throughout these past five days, I’ve seen her flourish and blossom, and it’s not just about her. This will change many aspects of our lives, open many doors for Emily, and allow her a new level of independence. Thank you, Laura, Lexi, technicians, and all the volunteer buddies! You are all the best!”
