Project Mobility’s Holiday Adaptive Bike Giveaway is an extension of our Adaptive Bike Giveaway. It began in 2009 with a 10 year old girl named Riley. Her mom was looking to buy her husband a bicycle at The Bike Rack and came across a tv special called Hallmark Heroes with Regis Philbin on Project Mobility, Hal Honeyman and his family (view link below). She didn’t know that Riley was behind her watching the video too. She turned around and saw Riley with tears in her eyes and she said “Mom I’m going to get a bike like that for a child this Christmas”. Her mom explained these bikes are very expensive and asked her how she was going to do that. Riley decided to write a letter and send it to the family’s Christmas card list. Riley explained, “I wrote a letter to everybody I knew and tons of people sent in checks, so I got three bikes! I helped three kid’s Christmas wishes come true!”
Ever since 2009, we have taken Riley’s amazing work and kept it going. Without your support we cannot make the dreams come true for these children. Help us keep the tradition going! To learn more click here.
