Nora gets her own set of wheels
We had a lovely little visitor drop in to see us, all the way from North Queensland, to have a few measurements taken for her Freedom Wheels bike! Nora was born with congenital limb abnormalities to the right side of her body which has made learning to ride a bike extremely challenging!
With a set of sturdy outriggers, some foot cups with foot levellers and extra blocks on the right side to compensate for her shorter leg, a high riser at the back for mum to assist, the brake switched to the left hand side and a customised handlebar extension to compensate for her shorter arm and missing fingers – this little daredevil is off and away!
Check out this awesome video by Variety – the Children’s Charity of Queensland who funded the bike and helped to make this little girl’s dream come true!!!
2-year-old Nora was born with congenital limb abnormalities of the right side of her body and they are yet to be able to find a diagnosis or cause of her condition. Unfortunately, finding the perfect bike and supports for Nora to feel the freedom of riding has been a big challenge but thanks to some of our generous supporters, Nora received a custom made bike to suit her needs.There was plenty of excitement as Nora helped her dad unpack her new bike – starting with her pretty pink helmet which she was over the moon about! Nora’s parents are ecstatic at seeing their beautiful little girl ride a bike with her friend, Lucas, and it’s easy to see the enormous amount of joy that riding is bringing to gorgeous young Nora.We can’t thank you enough for the generous support that you provide, that enables us to help so many kids just like Nora. Take a look a the video below for a quick glimpse at the huge difference you are making in the lives of kids in need. ❤️️
