Help Vienna get her dream adaptive trike! Despite the odds being stacked against her she crawled walked ran climbed. Now lets help her ride!

Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt

Vienna was born with Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus and a Chiari II Malformation but she doesnt let these disabilties slow her down. When she was born we didnt think she would have full function of her legs, let alone be able to crawl, walk, run, jump and climb on her own though Vienna has blown all her medical support team and her family away by proving she WILL and she CAN do all this and more! She is such an inspiring wee girl with so much enthusiasm for life and can literally put a smile on every persons face that she meets. She has taught us all the importance of appreciating the teeny tiny things in life, to not take anything for granted!

Vienna's dream is currently to be able to ride a bike as her 5 older brothers and sisters often ride with her dad. She gets quite upset sometimes when her and I have to stay at home which breaks our hearts because as her parents we want to enable her to try/do everything in life as any other child would. Her legs aren't as strong as everyone else's and she has little to no feeling in her feet so trying to keep her feet on the pedal and ride is hard work, though Vienna has not given up practicing to use her tricycle that we got her for Christmas 2023. We have been on the lookout for a adaptive trike for Vienna for awhile but unfortunately these are quite pricey!

Any help to acquire one of these special trikes would be hugely appreciated by our whole family and would boost Vienna's confidence in her abilities a lot too.
