Day 5 Grant Presentation - Brodie Baker - Lakes Entrance

Posted: 27 October 2007

Day 5 of the Kilometres for Kids ride saw five year old Lakes Entrance by Brodie Baker receive a new trike and computer and educational software to the value of $6,000. Brodie, who suffers from Cerebral Palsy is now able to move around with the assistance of his Nan and Pop on his custom designed trike, which has been designed to assist with his muscle development and recovery. Brodie is subjected to many hours of exercises each day and the trike will give him a fun way of assisting in his muscular development without it seeming like a chore.

The presentation today was conducted by rider Daniel Liberman, himself the father of a five-year-old, who was overwhelmed by the experience and was privileged to be able to make a difference to Brodie's life and support the fantastic efforts of his grandparents who are raising Brodie.

In addition to the trike, Brodie also received a new computer, a touch screen monitor and educational software that will assist in his intellectual growth and development. More information about Brodie can be found by cliking on his profile on the "Kids Profiles" section of this site.
