Chris, 2014
Despite challenges with cerebral palsy, Chris harbored a simple yet powerful dream: to ride a bike. Chris was awarded a specially designed bike that allowed him to participate in a 250-mile church bike trip across the west side of Michigan. Watermark for Kids also covered the cost of the trip and $200 in gift cards so Chris could buy necessary gear, including a new helmet. Chris became a symbol of undeterred determination, proving that dreams are worth pursuing, no matter how seemingly simple.
