Olivia

Smiles abound as Olivia from Ham Lake received her wish for a custom-built bike.  She battles a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leaves her unable to speak and confined to a wheelchair. Regardless, she loves the outdoors and feeling the wind in her face!  With this special bike, her wheelchair is able to slide right onto the platform and Olivia, along with a driver, can now experience rides around their neighborhood and local parks. After numerous delays in getting this special bike from the Netherlands, Olivia’s patience paid off and the result was the biggest smiles you could imagine! Thanks to a Wishes & More volunteer, we had Butterscotch the Unicorn help with the delivery and Olivia’s smile was even brighter when the sun came out and her family surrounded her to test out her wish come true!  Thanks to the Ham Lake Lions and the Ham Lake Chamber of Commerce for joining forces to make this wish a reality!
