Help me to improve my health and well-being, independence and regain the ability to enjoy time out with my family and friends.
Rolleston, Canterbury
Hello friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,
My name is Scott, and I am living with a permanent lower back injury and sciatica of the right leg. While I do my best to stay independent, everyday mobility can be difficult. One of my biggest dreams is to have more freedom of movement, enjoy the outdoors, and strengthen my body safely — but right now, I can’t do that without help.
That’s why I am raising funds for a specialized disability trike. Unlike a regular bicycle, a disability trike is designed to give stability, comfort, and support for people with mobility limitations. With this trike, I would be able to:
Safely enjoy exercise that strengthens my muscles and improves circulation
Experience the joy of fresh air and nature without fear of falling
Increase my independence and confidence in everyday life
Share active time with my 6yr old daughter, Ruby, wife, Kathryn, friends and family
Unfortunately, these trikes cost over $20k, which is far beyond what I can afford on my own. I am applying for community disability grants as well to assist in covering the cost.
Every donation — big or small — will bring me one step closer to gaining freedom and independence. If you aren’t able to donate, simply sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting me on this journey. Together, you’re not just funding a trike — you’re helping me reclaim independence and joy.
With gratitude,
Scott
Any contribution will go towards the cost of a HP Velotechnik Scorpion fs 26 from trikesnz.co.nz
Extra $$$ would go towards a transport hitch.

I am very humbled by those who have donated generous amounts.
Can you please share my page with yor friends and family. The more exposure it gets the greater chance of reaching my goal.
Also I'd be interested in discussing a corporate deal in exchange for advertising or similar.
