ARK's Adaptive and Durable Medical Equipment Lending Library

“My son, Brody Connolly was born with a neuromuscular disorder that causes severe muscle weakness and confines him to a wheelchair.  When he was young, I could only dream of Brody riding a bike.  When I heard about ARK, we decided to check it out, even though we were not expecting to find anything for Brody. Much to my surprise, we found a bike he could ride.  An adaptive tricycle allowed Brody to ride by himself and watching him peddle away for the very first time was beyond words.  Every child should be given the opportunity to experience the pure joy and freedom of riding a bike; to simply put their feet to the pedals and just go.  ARK Advocates has made this dream a reality for both myself and my son, and that is something that we will cherish forever. I hope that you will consider contributing to ARK Advocates so that they can continue to fund their equipment loan program and spread joy and independence to many other children and adults like Brody.”
