Our chapter works on raising funds to provide and fit the Amtryke therapeutic tryke to children and others who are unable to ride a regular bike. Through our chapter we can provide highly discounted pricing on typically expensive adaptive, therapeutic tricycles.
Everyone deserves to experience the fun and freedom of riding a bike. That’s why
we build and donate therapist-recommended Amtrykes which can improve motor skills, strength, and self-esteem.
How We Do It
1. A therapist recommends an individual for an Amtryke
2. The individual will be evaluated and sized by their own therapist with
guidance from an experienced Rock River Valley chapter member.
3. The family determines how much they can contribute towards the purchase
of that tricycle. If assistance is needed, the individual is placed on our wish
list.
4. The chapter relies on our yearly fundraiser, quarterly membership dues and
donations to provide funding to fulfill the needs of those on the Amtryke
Wish List.
5. At a giveaway event, we fit the child with his or her very own Tryke and
ensure they receive a proper, custom fit.
