Special Care, an organization that treats and/or cares for children with developmental delays, cerebal Palsy, downs syndrome, autism spinal bifita etc., proposed to the Aldridge Foundation that we underwrite the purchase of a theraputic bicycle for $4,600. After careful investigation, the Directors voted to make the grant. It was presented as a challenge grant in hope that someone would buy a second machine.

Today Jake Aldridge and I visited the facility. Two bikes were in use by two smiling youngsters.

Ms. Pam Newby, executive Director and founder of Special Care told us that our grant had been overmatched to such an extent that a 3rd bike was on order. (Pictures of the two youngsters and of Jake with Pam)
