Video of Andy's New Bike at growingbolder.com

Posted on July 6th, 2010 at 2:48 pm

Andy was born with fetal alcohol syndrome 40 years ago. His adoptive and loving parents have always encouraged him to get involved in life and he has. He has a job, a lot of friends and gets all around town on his beloved bicycle. So, imagine his despair when it was stolen. And imagine his surprise when the very people he thought were a nuisance turned out to be some of the best friends he ever had.

I wish I known about his bike being stolen, I would have donated! Honestly, I never knew why he was yelling at me on Saturday mornings.

He will be nice to us now, finally he can appreciate us as his friends not his enemies.

Good job fellow bikers.

I have observed Andy for a number of years. Praise God for the kindness of the bikers that provided him with a replacement bike! We need much more of this! Thanks for sharing this great story!

Andy was a great supporter of Winter Park High School athletics the whole time my daughter played sports there. I'm so glad he's still got wheels! You guys ROCK!
