Demo and review of the Rifton Adaptive Tricycle. Ginger gets on her new "bike" and takes right off! Rifton trikes are adapted sports bicycles that allow children and teens as well as adults with physical disabilities to improve leg strength and to have fun, fun, fun! Special needs children need not be left out. The video shows the large Rifton Tricycle. It is designed for children 10 years old to adult and provides therapeutic, reciprocal exercise with all the fun of riding. The trike is adjustable and many optional accessories are available. Christopher's Promise, its founder, Lauren Lichtenauer, as well as its partners donated the bike to Ginger. She had a bike giveaway on July 12, 2014 at Road Runner Sports in Falls Church, Va. CHRISTOPHER'S PROMISE has partnered with Road Runner Sports and their Grant Funding Division - Athletes Helping Athletes, roll: Bikes, Keen Footwear, HOBY Youth and more. From the Christopher's Promise Facebook page: "Christopher's Promise is a grassroots, non-profit initiative to provide children with special circumstances with the proper adaptive cycling equipment, inspired by Christopher Buzinski. Christopher is a teenager facing struggles with Neurofibromatosis, Cerebral Palsy, and Optic glioma (a form of brain cancer). After realizing circumstances like this exist, Christopher's Promise aims at making the typical childhood experiences accessible to all children." "

I understand your devotion. Our daughter was in a germ free air locked chamber several years. Dad came in the afternoon for 12 hours inside. Mom came in the early morning & spent 12 hours. Sarah had many coma's often for weeks. We sang to her. Talked to her. Disinfected her. Even sterilized her tubes in both lungs & her stomach often. I will always remember when she woke up from a 51 day coma. She was weak, but could still softly speak. "Daddy, I can always hear you singing to me." I have no cartridge in my knees. TODAY I bought a 6 speed TRIKE BIKE inspired by your daughter. "GTN GEARSMITH" - My 50 yr class reunion is in 2015 - I sang a few songs by requesr of the ladies last time.. I need to get my lungs in shape if I'm going to sing ORBISON & TOM JONES next time.

Do you remember 20 to about 14 years ago a very young girl who had AML cancer, a cancer no one had ever survived. SARAH in Ohio - "Sarah's Song" & "Kiss Her Goodnight". She had a 1 mil health policy. She cost about 5 million in medical cost's & our international search "STICK UP FOR SARAH & HER FRIENDS" bone marrow registry drive cost about 3 1/2 million more. In Canada we found her perfect match. She lived inside an airlock chamber over 5 years. We were secretly informed we found donors for over 300 children globally. She could not go to school until 9th grade Graduated w/ honors all 3 levels & now is in scholarship for her PHD. She is administrator in central Ohio of a prototype program to counsel children & families in crisis. - Sarah's Song - Sarah Ashley SeCoy is here on YOUTUBE - To love a physically challenged child & do every thing you can is the true definition of a MOMMY & DADDY The 5 years she lived in a "chamber" mommy took the day shift & daddy took the 12 hour night shift.
