We feel weird that we entered this giveaway / raffle / fundraiser. We are not wanting to put food on the table or fun in our lives, but we do not have a $3k adaptive bike budget. We still hope C will ride a typical bike someday (and she already has one, that is in the budget), but she has been on the cusp for two years. She can pedal, she can steer when she pays attention, but the balance and the attention span are just not quite there. Bikes give you a new way to see the world, the wind in your hair, the fun of the adventures, the power of the pedal.
I look through the other entrants in the Great Bike Giveaway and see many with much higher need. They do not love riding their big wheels, and the adaptive bike they wish for is very different than the one we want. The goal is to get a bike for all 600 entrants, but if enough is not raised it will be a drawing for those with over 100 votes. I don't want to take anyone else's bike.

The cool thing about the Great Bike Giveaway is we are not competing. You can vote for every single entrant if you take time. You do not need to choose one child. If it is a cause you want to get behind you can donate. That is what funds the bikes. We donated, we want as many of the kids as possible to get a bike. No guilt! If you are looking for a way to really change a child's life it is a great place to start.
So, please take 2 seconds and vote for my charming, sweet, smart, kind, little girl. If you have 10 more seconds please vote for a few more kids wishing for the chance to ride a bike.
