I know you guys can all help rock this for Emily!
We promise if she wins we will only wash it using the two bucket method and will wax and seal it twice a year! :laughing::laughing::laughing:
Thank you in advance for your support from both Emily and her dad!
If you are interested, here is a little more detail on her story!
Despite the challenges Emily has faced since birth she almost always has a smile on her face.
Over the last year she has made tremendous strides in both her confidence and independence. This has manifested in her participation in the Special Olympics where she has won several medals (which she will proudly show to anyone who is interested) and her willingness to try new things like tubing behind a boat on vacation this past summer.
A few weeks ago she got a brace for her left leg which turns inward fairly significantly. Instead of being bothered by her brace, she has been excited to wear it because of "it makes her stand straighter and run faster." She has been seeing a PT over the past few weeks to help her get used to the brace.
Today, her therapist let her try out an adaptive bike and she loved it!! She had a beaming smile on her face while riding! Having such a bike of her own would go such a long way to continue to build Emily's new found confidence and independence!
