Olive is a four year old girl with a very rare undiagnosed condition. Olive faces many challenges but has a very special, independent and can do attitude to life and touches the heart of everyone she meets.
Olive was born with one half of her body significantly smaller and weaker than the other. This has caused a variety of problems for Olive where one of her legs was much shorter and smaller than the other. It was clear she would not be able to walk and the Dr’s could not lengthen her bones as the difference was too great. It was necessary to amputate her right foot when she was 18 months old enabling her to walk using a prosthetic leg. Olive began to walk independently after her 2nd birthday. The knee to her small leg is positioned much higher than her other leg making actions like running and pedalling a normal bike impossible, so Olive skips and enjoys her scooter.
Olive suffers from Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) due to the unequal sides of her body. This means she needs support from special needs chairs and a wheelchair to help support her and keep her spine as straight as possible. Olive has a smaller right hand and arm with some bone abnormalities which causes her difficulties in daily life. Olive has torticollis of her neck which causes her to hold her head to one side, which along with her asymmetry cause her to struggle with her balance and she tires extremely quickly.
Olive was able to have a ride on a Tom Cat Trike, a special needs trike which is made and adapted for her needs. It enabled her for the very first time to cycle, much to our amazement and joy! Olive was able to sit safely, with her posture and spine supported, and adaptions have been made to accommodate her prosthetic leg and knee position. Not to mention she absolutely LOVED it!!!
This trike comes with a parental control handle with a brake to keep her safe and take over when she gets tired. It also comes apart and connects to a bar so she can be towed behind an adult bike giving her the ability to get out with the whole family on bike rides.
We are fundraising to get Olive a trike of her own giving her the joy and freedom to cycle like any other child. It will help to improve Olives strength, fitness and confidence and show her and other children that no matter what your difficulties in life they can be overcome and nothing can stop you achieving!
