Alice’s New Ride

November 21, 2019 By Christine

The Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund was able to purchase a second tryke as the result of a golf outing held at Whitetail Golf Club this summer. Alice was so happy to get her new tryke and helmet! We want to thank the golfers who participated in this event and to Brad Paukovits and the Whitetail staff for their support. Also thanks to Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza for donating wings as a tasty treat. Pictured are: Alice, her parents, brother and Bill and Chris Hankee. Tryke selection and fitting were coordinated by
The Lehigh Valley Steel Force Friends Chapter of National AMBUCS.

PARTNERSHIPS COUNT

November 21, 2019 By Christine

The Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund recently had the pleasure to celebrate our partnership with Lehigh Valley Educators Credit Union members and administrators by purchasing an adaptive tryke and helmet for Shehab. Therapists at St. Luke’s Pediatric Physical Therapy work with him on his new specialized tryke and he is learning to push through the pedals better every day! This will improve skills while having fun! He was so excited to ride his tryke! The tryke was purchased in a joint effort by LVECU and the Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund. A big thank you to a caring Lehigh Valley Educators Credit Union community ! Tryke selection and fitting were coordinated by The Lehigh Valley Steel Force Friends Chapter of National AMBUCS.

A beautiful day for the Trot for Trykes event organized by Lehigh Valley Steel Force! Happy kids receiving their adaptive trykes. Now they are able to ride and enjoy the great outdoors with friends and family !

Thanks to our generous supporters we were able to purchase an adaptive tryke for Sammy. Her parents said she could hardly sleep last night in anticipation of getting her new bike!

Special thanks to Lee and Barb Kreidler who also purchased an adaptive tryke for a young girl named Story. Her parents told us she can now ride with her siblings.

These are “Miles that Matter “ thanks to a caring community!
