An Adaptive Bike for Sidney

3-year-old Sidney Schmid stands in a walker device in physical therapy.

This summer, we are excited to present 3-year-old client Sidney Schmid with a customized adaptive bike to support his unique mobility needs.

“Sidney is a bright and happy boy who loves music, nature and watching monster trucks! He really enjoys reading books, as long as you’re willing to let him turn the pages.”

At birth, Sidney experienced a traumatic brain injury as his medical team worked to save his life. He has been diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy.

“Your support is a special gift that will have continuing positive ripple effects in our lives. Something truly priceless to us.”

Sidney and his family have worked hard in multiple modes of therapy to give him the most mobility, independence, and confidence possible. Fundraising with Help Hope Live is a key part of a healthy, mobile future.

While life-changing as a means to access fresh air, therapeutic exercise, and community connections, adaptive bikes are often financially out of reach for families.

We hope this adaptive bike will infuse his life with even more joy and motion.
