Elliot is a 6-and-a-half-year-old boy from Dieppe, New Brunswick, Canada. During pregnancy, a mutation developed in the DYNC1H1 gene. This mutation causes delayed motor and mental development. He was born with malformed feet and dislocated hips and had to have heart surgery at 6 days old. As a result, Elliot cannot walk, is non-verbal and has had epilepsy since he was 6 months old.

Despite all his challenges, Elliot is a happy little boy who seems to love life. An adapted bicycle could allow him to enjoy life even more. He loves spending time outdoors, but it is more difficult for him and his family to do certain activities, including biking.
