AFK Spring Appeal – Meet Ivy

Ivy on a pink bike

Six-year-old Ivy from Brighton has spina bifida and recently had hip reconstruction surgery. After three months in a cast, she needed equipment to help her rebuild strength, but more importantly, to help her be a six-year-old, able to play with her friends.

 

Our Mobility team didn’t just find a trike. They sourced the right trike for Ivy’s specific needs. A trike that would support her rehabilitation while giving her the freedom to join her friends riding bikes around her cul-de-sac, cycling to see the horses, and exploring the beach near her home.

 

And it arrived in sparkle pink, her favourite colour…

 

But our work didn’t stop there. For every £1 we spent on Ivy’s trike, our Mobility team raised an additional 25p from other funders, maximising your gift and ensuring Ivy’s family had the full support they needed.

 

That’s the AFK difference.
