Our most important goal since Charleston was diagnosed is to make sure he LIVES LIFE!!!!! I, as his nana, have been frustrated over enabling him to have a simple joy - riding a bike.
I just recently told Ashley that every Christmas, I donate a children's bike in his honor. It's something that has been important to me, and has filled a small hole in my heart because he hasn't been able to ride a bike of his own.
Now look!!!!!! Charleston has a bike!!!!! And little mama took him for a ride yesterday in their neighborhood!!!! And he LOVED IT!!!!
I found this bike by searching on the internet. Periodically, I've searched bikes for disabled children, to no avail. But a few months ago, something showed up on indiegogo.com - here's the link for any of you that may be interested: Taga Bikes. Ashley contacted the people at the company, and they were fabulous to work with!!!! They made modifications for Charleston, and the bike was delivered last week.
My Charleston is happy, little mama is happy, dada is happy, and this nana is OVER THE MOON!!!!
