An Adaptive Bike for a Local “Warrior on Wheels”

Nine-year-old Kelson was the latest Help Hope Live client to receive a burst of joy, hope, and mobility when our Flyers Alumni Every Child Deserves a Bike partnership resulted in another customized adaptive bike giveaway.

9-year-old Kelson is depicted in four photos in a grid frame. He has short curly brown hair, light brown skin, and dark brown eyes and he is smiling or laughing in every photo. He appears to be seated at a classrom desk.

Kelson is living with cerebral palsy with spastic diplegia and dystonia. As a result, he has limited capabilities for independent motion and balance, which is why a traditional bike doesn’t work well for him.

Adaptive bikes are life-enhancing for kids like Kelson, but they often force families to come up with thousands to cover the out-of-pocket cost with no help from insurance.

9-year-old Kelson wears a mask, a red shirt, black pants, and black shoes as he uses black forearm crutches to stand for a posed photo with someone in a Spiderman costume in a hotel lobby setting. He has light brown skin, curly brown hair, brown eyes, and a mask.

With this special gift in hand, Kelson’s family will continue to rely on Help Hope Live for trusted medical fundraising for this “one in a billion kid” who is “big hearted, expressive, and proud” and loves going to school, Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, and every Philly sports team.

Kelson's Campaign

Kelson wears a brown shirt with a baby yoda on it and gray camoflage print pants as he poses in front of an aquarium. He has a huge smile and is extending his arms to the left and right in excitement. He has light brown skin, curly dark hair, and dark eyes.
