Tricyle for Jack from three local Rotary Clubs PDF Print E-mail
Written by RC of Howden, Goole & Selby

"The Rotary Clubs of Goole, Howden and Selby recently joined forces to buy a special tricycle for Jack, who suffers from a rare genetic condition that affects his balance and co-ordination.
Jack has difficulty with mobility, and the tricycle, which was specially made, has changed his life immeasurably.  He is now able to cycle under his own effort and gets an immense amount of pleasure from the new found freedom.
 
Pictured is Jack with the three Club Presidents who said. " To be able to help Jack in this way has given all the club members a real buzz, he is such a happy chap and to see his beaming face when he is on his trike is a real joy.  We all hope that his new transport gives him the fun he deserves.  Jack's dad has had to become somewhat proficient in the puncture repair department as Jack has a tendency to cycle along country lanes where there are quite a lot of hawthorn hedges resulting in lots of flat tyres - not that he is complaining, of course".
