Alfie is my son. He's 11 years old now, last year he was diagnosed with ASD, ADHD and Dyspraxia And Collitus.   

Alfie struggles at school and finds difficulty in having friendships and getting around. Alfie had a tiny tricycle when he was little but as he has grown so big so fast he only had it for a little while, we tried stabilisers but they weren't strong or big enough for a big bike.   

He so desperately wanted to go outside and be like other kids. It made him sad. I couldn't afford a balance bike or trike, One day last summer 2016 someone offered us a old three wheeled shopping bike it was a donation to a bike shop from another family, but they insisted it had to go to someone that really needed it. So I applied.   

We went to have a look and after the seat and handlebars were adjusted Alfie finally got to ride a bike after so many years, tears ran down his cheeks and he smiled.  He had his first test drive outside our house and the joy and freedom that old three wheeler gave my son that day will never leave me

So...... Now its our turn to make someone smile.
