Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I just wanted to send you a quick email to tell you about a company that I recently learned about. It is called Freedom Concepts and their web site is www.freedomconcepts.com. They have adaptive bicycles for kids with disabilities. Just today we had one of their field reps (Lou ) come to our house with both their DCP 12 and DCP 16 bike models from the Discovery bike Series line. (Owen will actually needs the bigger of the two which I didn't realize) Owen who has never been able to ride a bike (can only turn a tricycle a few cycles) went up and down my street 3 times!! And we have a long, long road! This is the most excited I have been in a quite some time. The bikes are quite costly (3,000-4,000 once you add up options) if you can believe that, however, sometimes insurance will pay. In our case, we were able to apply to a special needs trust in our area, and I believe they are going to pay for Owen's bike. The company would help work out payment options with you. Today was a magical day seeing him laughing, waving to neighbors and just being a kid in on the action instead of watching from the sidelines. I felt like crying watching him. Sincerely, Bridget Willis Mom to Owen, 5yrs, Mitochondrial Disease, Complex 1 with COQ10 deficiency, PDD-NOS, Hypotonia in mid-line, hypertonia at ankles (a host of other medical issues too) and a smile to light up the room!
