When C.W. was asked about receiving his bike,
his eyes lit up. The Army veteran rides his bike to and from Denison Parking
where he works. The bike has given C.W. more than he could have ever imagined:
freedom and health. C.W. finally feels a freedom he hasn’t felt in a long time.
“I’m able to go wherever I want, whenever I want,” he explained. The bike helps
him get to his destination more quickly and efficiently. His new ride is a Genesis Bike with
all the bells and whistles. With the help of this bike, C.W. is moving forward
and working toward his goal, which is taking on more responsibility and taking
action every day to better his lifestyle. C.W. also mentioned the health
benefits of riding his bicycle. Prior to HVAF, C.W. was an alcoholic, and the
bike helps him sweat out any tendencies he is feeling. He’s getting back into shape by working
different muscles. He feels like an overall healthier person.
