Meet Brielle! She is 5 years old and is a bubbly and fun little girl. She loves watching Daniel Tiger and going to Urban Air with her dad. Brielle was born with Apert Syndrome, a rare genetic mutation and craniosynostosis, premature fusion of the skin and bones.
Brielle has had 8 hand surgeries and 2 skull surgeries to help with her condition and despite that, she remains resilient and adaptable to her situation. Her family describes her as energetic because she loves playing with the family dog.
Brielle needs an adaptive tricycle which will help increase her coordination and overall strength. She uses one when she goes to her physical therapy sessions, but would benefit with having her own to gain independence while increasing her range of motion. Brielle received her trike over Labor Day Weekend and was so excited to have her own trike to ride in her neighborhood! Thank you to our sponsor AHA for helping Brielle get her trike!!
