Upstate SC AMBUCS seeks funding to provide adapted tricycles for people with lifelong mobility limitations. Their primary focus as an organization is serving children and veterans within the upstate. Each person is fit for their custom amtryke by a physical or occupational therapist to ensure it is not only fun, but therapeutic. A variety of adaptations are available to allow people of all abilities to be appropriately supported while riding. Their goal is to allow these people to build fond memories of riding, a sense of independence and increasing physical fitness.
Riding bikes with friends is a fond memory for the majority of adults; the sense of independence, being able to explore your neighborhood while laughing with friends. At Upstate SC AMBUCS, they are smiling just thinking about those days! Unfortunately, those individuals who cannot ride a standard bicycle often miss out on this experience. This is why they need your help; SC AMBUCS is fundraising to provide adapted tricycles for children and veterans with disabilities. Currently, they have children waiting on our local wish list, eager to pedal off on their very own tricycle! Each person is fit for their custom tryke by a physical or occupational therapist to ensure it is not only fun but therapeutic. Let’s help put these people behind the pedals and watch them go!
