Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou….No really THANKYOU. Oh my goodness, What a week. What started our as my latest blog post, about my little project, to get Veronika a hydrotherapy spa, to give her every chance to
Isnt it a right of passage for children to learn to ride a bike?
Isnt it something that every parent wants for their child?
To be able to ride a bike….I just assumed my 3 children would ride a bike, after all I grew up riding everywhere, to my friends, to the park, to school and the list goes on.
I always assumed…..
Assumed….assumed…assumed….
I don’t know at what point on our journey with Veronika, that it dawned on me should wouldn’t be able to ride a bike.
Well after all if you don’t use one side of your body, how are you going to hold the handle bars, let alone pedal?
Veronika’s Physio last year was involved with the Freedom Wheels Program…
…and she thought Veronika might just be tall enough for a Freedom wheels bike, either that or she would ‘make her tall enough’….
so we had her measured and Veronika was ‘just tall enough’….
and this week Veronika was presented with her Freedom Wheels….
Veronika was completely overwhelmed to start with, that combined with the fact that she had just been given a biscuit! She was strapped in, and Daddy took the handle and we did a lap around the Good Guys shop in Moonah, where she was presented with her bike.
Here is the link to her hot lap!
What a privilege to be presented with her Freedom Wheels, what an even bigger blessing was the Lions Club of Brighton fully funded her bike.
Veronika wishes to say a big THANKYOU to Tascare Society for Children, TADTAS(the volunteers who made her bike) and of course the Lions Club of Brighton for funding it….you all have not only brought a huge smile to Veronika’s face, but mine too(which I desperatly needed after I reached the end of my tether earlier in the week)….
….and another video to share is one of Veronika’s favourite things to do at the moment….shooting hoops!
