An Adaptive Bike for Tommy

On Tuesday, July 15, we look forward to gifting a customized adaptive bike to 12-year-old Tommy Schrank through our Every Child Deserves a Bike partnership with the Philadelphia Flyers Alumni Association.

Living with multiple medical diagnoses, Tommy loves to participate in adaptive activities, including biking with his current adaptive bike. However, his bike’s tires make it difficult to navigate hills and sidewalks safely.

Tommy gets tired and needs breaks when he walks, so a customized adaptive bike will unlock new possibilities for him for exploring his town, going to park concerts and the playground, and enjoying ice cream outings and the farmer’s market with his family.

The right bike will also give him the chance to continue strengthening the left side of his body with regular use.

...Because Every Child Deserves a Bike

We are so grateful to the Flyers Alumni Association for making it possible for us to bring joy, motion, and hope within reach for local kids and young adults living with life-changing disabilities.

We know adaptive bikes can be a game-changer, improving outdoor access, community connection, and regular exercise that can help improve mobility, health, and independence. However, adaptive bikes often remain financially out of reach for families without help.

Thanks to the Flyers Alumni Association, together, we can bring a vision to life: Every Child Deserves a Bike.

Together, we’ve already brought more joy and motion into the lives of dozens of local kids and young adults.

Learn why this exceptional partnership with the Flyers Alumni Association began, and see the joy for yourself as you read the stories of local families who have received beautiful adaptive bikes of their own:
