I don’t usually ask for help publicly. If you know me, you know I work hard to take care of my family and figure things out on my own. But sometimes being a parent — especially a parent to a child with special needs — means recognizing when community can make something beautiful possible.
My daughter Audrey is 6 years old and lives with cerebral palsy. She is funny, stubborn in the best way, and full of joy. She works incredibly hard in therapy every week just to do things many children never have to think about. As parents, we do everything we can to give her the same experiences her siblings and other kids have, but the reality is that adaptive equipment often takes months or even years to be approved through insurance — if it’s approved at all.
Something as simple as riding a bike, feeling the wind on her face, or keeping up during family outings isn’t easy for her right now. An adaptive bike would give Audrey inclusion, independence, and the chance to experience childhood alongside everyone else instead of watching from the sidelines.
Creating this fundraiser honestly makes me uncomfortable because asking for help isn’t easy for me. But Audrey deserves every opportunity to laugh, explore, and be part of the moments most children take for granted.
If you’re able to donate, share, or simply send encouragement, it truly means more than you know. Thank you for helping us give Audrey the chance to ride beside the world — not behind it. 🤍

Audrey is 6 and lives with cerebral palsy, which limits her mobility and makes riding a bike on her own impossible. She adores her siblings and watches them ride together, wishing she could be part of those moments. This bike would allow her to safely join our family rides, feel the wind on her face, and laugh alongside them instead of watching from the sidelines. More than anything, it would give her inclusion, joy, and the chance to experience childhood beside the people she loves most.
