I know this is really far off topic, but I also know this is a really active forum so I thought I would put it out there.

I found out that this organization called Friendship Circle is giving away adaptive bicycles and I would love for my adopted brother with cerebral palsy to win one, it would mean so much to him. Each person nominated needs to get a minimum of 50 votes to be eligible but the more votes the better. Voting is free through their website (http://www.friendshipcircle.org/bikes/2015/02/delqwon-s/) with Facebook or email.

This is what I wrote up for him:
My brother Delqwon is a high school boy that would love to be constantly active and social, however, his cerebral palsy impedes him from doing many of the things he wants to do. Due to the severity of his cerebral palsy, he cannot even stand let alone walk or pedal a bicycle. Because of only having muscular control of his left arm, he cannot move his own wheelchair and muscle spasms that impact his entire body make an electric wheelchair not feasible. An adaptive bicycle would allow Delqwon to go out and be more active with his family and friends.

Thanks in advance for at least reading.

Thanks to those who voted for my brother. He has made the minimum to be eligible for the raffle. He is still a long way from winning the bike for the most votes, so if you still are willing to vote, please do.
