When you watch two-year-old Joshua Doran pedal a therapy bike, you’re actually witnessing a miracle. Born with cerebral palsy, Joshua can't crawl, walk or even sit up on his own. But thanks to the three-wheel bike and its adaptive equipment, he can ride like the wind.

"We put him on the bike and he's totally strapped in and he gets the biggest smile on his face," said Joshua’s therapist Lisa Swartz.

So does 7-year-old Taylor Spandau, who's had three open-heart surgeries. When the little girl is on her special bike, it's Swartz, who's also Taylor's therpaist at The West Boca Outpatient Pediatric Therapy Center, who has to catch her breath trying to keep up with her.

"She loves the bike,” said Taylor’s grandmother Gloria Silverman. “She doesn't want to get off it. She feels like she's free. She feels like she's flying."

That’s because the bikes are fun and they help improve the children’s upper and lower body strength. Therapists recommend that the children have their own bikes at home, but medical insurance won't cover the cost and The West Boca Outpatient Pediatric Therapy Center doesn’t have funding for the bikes. In fact, the bikes Joshua and Taylor are using are on loan.

"It's sad to say that you can't get something for your child that he needs and wants because of money issues," said Joshua’s mom Dawn Doran.

Each therapy bike costs between $3,000 and $3,200. Care Force would like to raise at least $15,000 to buy five therapy bikes, two for Joshua and Taylor to use at home and three for the therapy center.
