Story on Growing Bolder

Andy was born with fetal alcohol syndrome 40 years ago. His adoptive and loving parents have always encouraged him to get involved in life and he has. He has a job, a lot of friends and gets all around town on his beloved bicycle. So, imagine his despair when it was stolen. And imagine his surprise when the very people he thought were a nuisance turned out to be some of the best friends he ever had.

    Thats awesome !!! I used to live in the winter park area off of lakemont and palmer – I used to see andy everyday riding his bike down lakemont and every now and then at loco-motion, that sucks that somebody stole his bike , but how great was that of the local cycling community raising money to get him a new one !!!

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race.
