Like many kids with Down Syndrome, Sophie had very little mobility. She was starting to feel left behind and excluded.
Many kids living with disabilities miss out on experiences that their brothers, sisters and friends get to have, leaving them feeling excluded and alone.
When Sophie's little brother Logan walked before Sophie did, her parents could see she was starting to feel left behind. "It was heart-breaking to watch," Sophie's dad, Jamie said.
All children like Sophie, regardless of their abilities, should have the chance to ride a bike.
This year we have 58 children on our waiting list, hoping to receive a Freedom Wheels bike for Christmas.
You can help give a child their own Freedom Wheels bike this Christmas. Can you help today?
