An amazing group of people, doing amazing things.

TLDR: sick kid gets awesome gift from kind biker gang.

This is Dawson my oldest son. He’s 14 and he has severe Ulcerative Colitis as well as Autism (Autism doesn’t define him. He’s been in years of therapy: OT, ST and social therapy and while there’s no cure he can cope with it better and has friends and loves school and everyone).

Above is the Ambitious Bikerz. This is an area biker club. They contacted us and wanted to do something for Christmas for Dawson.

Dawson is considered immunocompromised now due to the medication he is on for his autoimmune disease. He’s been very sick. He’s been in and out of the hospital many times since October.

He has never been very sporty. He’s very smart. He’s a drummer in the high school band, but he has always wanted to be on the high school power lifting team. Due to him being diagnosed with UC and not being able to be around a lot of people because of his extremely low immunity, he had to quit working out in any gyms. We also never know how he will feel from day to day.

We would have loved to have provided him with his own weight set, but because of tons of medical bills and the astronomical price of the medication that helps his condition we couldn’t afford to do very much this year, but in true Dawson fashion, he knew how things were and was just going to wait a year and try again next year. But he was disappointed he couldn’t continue to work out and get ready for next year.

That’s when these guys and gals stepped in.

We got a message from one of their members saying a little birdie told them about Dawson and they always pick a few kids from the community that need a Christmas blessing. And asked could they give Dawson a gift. We had no idea they would do all this.

They came to our house in cars and on their bikes. They had a weight set and weight bench for Dawson. So he could work out whenever he wants to without having to leave the house!

This is Dawson checking out the weight set. That’s my husband in the back.

Gonna test it out in the driveway. :)

I’m posting this to show there are still some amazing, giving, loving people in the world. We were so thankful and humbled by this. It’s been a very, very hard few months for him and our family.

We are usually the ones giving so it was very overwhelming that complete strangers wanted to give our kiddo something like this.

We will definitely be paying it forward as soon as we can!

Merry Christmas!

Be awesome to one another.
