Charity gets disabled Jimmy back on his bike

An Exeter boy who was left disabled by a severe brain haemorrhage has been able to rediscover his love of cycling, after a charity helped his family pay for a specially adapted tricycle.


Eleven year old Jimmy can ride it sitting down with a headrest to keep him in a safe position, and the brakes and steering all controlled with his left hand.

His mother says getting the trike made Jimmy happy again for the first time in years.

The charity Children Today provided a thousand pounds towards the cost.
