Hi, apparently your website is jammed with curiosity, after KOMO4 ran the wonderful article about the man, his daughter and a tricycle, so I came to your FB page. You obviously have a wonderful fan base. As for me? I had not heard of you until tonight, but thought I'd take a shot at contacting SMD... I'd like to know how to apply to the generosities of the man with the large tricycle that he is looking to donate. My 12 year old grandson, has autism and has never been able to ride a bike, despite the 4 different ones we have tried over the years. Please contact me if you would like to talk about this more. Thank you.... ~Terr

Thanks Steve.....yes we still are. I think the collective plan is to find a few people who are interested and then all of us here agree on who it would benefit the most.....seems to be what everyone wants to do. I'll see if she wants to give a few details....

The story was embarassing, but cool......I'm just happy she represented SMD......because that is really the story here.....Thanks to all of you.....everyone here.....Thank YOU!!

Just saw the news story, and this is why I love being a part of the forums here. It's not just a forum, its a community. Hell, a family.

P.s. the inflatable penguin made me lol.

I just emailed her on FB...hopefully she gets back to me soon with some details......when you guys are looking for possible recepients, keep in mind that this is a LARGE size trike, so it is going to be appropriate for an older kid.....like a teenager or small adult.....definately want it to go to someone who WILL be able to use it......I will also have a list of potential people from her school and her therapy clinic by the end of the week...as stated some pages back....once we have names and brief descriptions, LT. Smoke is going to set up a "poll"...so everyone has a say in where it goes.
