Meet Colton 💙

Colton was born with a rare genetic mutation called KIF4A and was diagnosed with autism at just 18 months old. In his short life, he has already shown incredible strength and resilience. Colton has undergone multiple major surgeries, including craniofacial reconstruction, jaw distraction, open-heart surgery, and eye surgery. He has also worn braces on his feet and legs to help correct his walking.

Colton works hard with his physical therapist throughout the week, and at school he’s been given the opportunity to use an adaptive bike. This bike has been life-changing for him. It helps build his gross motor skills as he uses his legs and feet to pedal, and his fine motor skills as he holds the handlebars and practices steering.
Most importantly… Colton absolutely loves riding the bike. 🚲
It brings him joy, confidence, and a sense of independence that’s so special to watch.

Having an adaptive bike at home would allow Colton to continue building his strength, coordination, and confidence outside of therapy and school. It would give him more chances to practice, play, and simply be a kid in his own space.

Any support toward getting Colton his very own adaptive bike would mean the world to him—and to us. Thank you for being part of his journey. 💙
