A Bike for Christian

Christian was born a bilateral above the knee amputee caused by amniotic band syndrome. We always knew he could do whatever he set his mind to, he would just have to do some things differently. He swam at a young age, started ice skating when he was 4, started soccer when he was 6, was the youngest player on his sled hockey team when he was 9, and his love for sailing began when he was 10.

One thing he has always wanted to do is "go fast"! He's tried big wheels and other bikes, but was unable to go as fast as he wanted or even keep up with his friends. Since trying out this bike he's had the freedom to ride around town, go out bike riding with his friends and even rides to sailing everyday. He also finally gets to "go fast".

Christian was born independent!! Having this bike allows him to be a typical 12 year old and have some independence. Jeff Luce is trying to raise funds for his friend Christian so that he can keep this special pedia bike.
