Ask Camden what the biggest news this week was, and he'll tell you it was getting his bike! Today at therapy, Ms. Lisa presented him with his very own adaptive bike. An anonymous couple donate 15 bikes each year to Wolfsons Chidrens Rehab children and Lisa put Camden's name on the short list. After a few pushes, he got the hang of it and really took off! This is such a big deal for him and us. It's so normalizing--now he can experience what he's only been able to watch other kids do. And it's empowering: You can see how much it means to him to be able to move himself. It seems to already be making a difference in his walking pattern. After riding for a while, he took broad, bold aligned steps. Dad mentioned that this is a new activity that will help him to emulate walking steps. Camden needed this right now, something just for him. Lately it seems this family has been showered with blessings!

Nice ride Camden! Now you need some black leather chaps and a bandana, you big biker! This will be good daily exercise that will keep you loose! Live to ride dude! Love, Aunt Betsy:)
