    Story

    As many of you know our beautiful three year old little boy Lincoln has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. On the surface to many people Lincoln may look fine and like the average three year old little boy. Its only when you look closer or spend time with him you realise the differences are actually quite obvious. He already is slower than his peers at pretty much everything from simple things like getting up off the floor to not being able to jump properly. He fatigues quickly and requires regular stretching of his muscles to stop them cramping up. One thing I struggle with is the idea that Lincoln wont be able to be included with his friends as he cant do something. This is where this crowdfunding comes in.

    Today we tried out a Tomcat fizz trike. The bikes are one of a kind and made specifically to each child. This was the first time lincoln has ever been able to push the pedals round on a bike and make them go. His face absolutely lit up like ‘I did it mummy’. The adaptation made this possible, the gears are set to the specific childs capabilities meaning some work but not enough to do any damage. He had a wide seat, back and side support and a lapbelt to help him not fall off as is with most duchenne boys his core strength is not great. There were big foot plates for him to give him more stability when turning the pedals. An adult handle to help stear and break if needs be. Basically all these things amounted to one happy little boy being able to ride a bike for the first time. These bike dont come cheap at £1901 it is just to far beyond what andrew and I are able to afford so we plan to try and fundraise in anyway we can to make the dream of this bike a reality for him. He has already told is he would like a tree green one please.

    To us this is not just about a bike. Its independance, adventure, inclusion with his friends and just the ability to do it. One day Lincoln will no longer have this ability as much as it breaks my heart to write that it is his reality. So whilst Lincoln has the function I would like to help him achieve all he can and make all these cherished childhood memories.

    Thank you for taking the time to read our story and to support us. If anyone one would like to come on board to fundraising we would be really greatful.

    Becci and Andrew
