I don't think there are words to describe how warm and fuzzy my heart felt watching Chance ride his new AmTryke today. Fedex came at 4pm to deliver the huge box and by 5pm, after Rob and I put it all together, we were outside giving it a whirl. It was starting to get dark, but we just HAD to get one first try on the new bike. It's AWESOME! Just about 2 months ago I contacted Ambucs and submitted some paperwork to get Chance added to their National Wishlist. This is an organization that helps to get special needs children a set of wheels of their own. Therapeudic bikes are very expensive. Chance's picture was added to their list and I told a few family members and friends about it. Within two weeks, our wish was granted. The day after Christmas I got an email from Ambucs letting us know that Chance received enough donations to completely pay for his bike (which is about $800).
So I'm very very grateful, overwhelmed, blessed.... more than words can say. I don't know yet who the donors are, but I'm supposed to get a letter with all that information in the next couple of weeks for those who did not donate anonymously. We intend to send a personal note with a picture of Chance on his new bike to each donor, but until then, I wanted to share this video with everyone, just so you can see the sheer joy on his face. He absolutely loves it! Now I just need to work on getting him to wear the helmet! hee hee

Way to go Chance! You already look like a pro riding your new Amtryke. I cannot wait to hear more about your adventures of riding it. Hope your staying bundled up and don't forget your helmet. Oh yea, please congratulate mommy & daddy on the new house. It looks lovely. Hugs.
