Handover of GO-Tryke to Ihor, paraplegic from Ukraine
In the last few weeks I have been able to complete the GO-Tryke for Ihor. Thanks to the information I received from Ihor, I was already able to make many settings and adjustments in Switzerland. Last week, the time had finally come; I took three days off and set off with the GO-Tryke to Poland to meet Ihor and his family for the handover. The first big hurdle for Ihor and his family was getting there, because the situation in western Ukraine had escalated again. Fortunately, everything worked out as planned.
The handover was an emotional experience that I will never forget for the rest of my life. The joy of Ihor and his family was overwhelming. After a few adjustments to the GO-Tryke, Ihor was already able to do his first laps. The GO-Tryke will make Ihor's life much easier and enable him to pursue a sporting activity.
Ihor also wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you in person:
«Thanks to all the people who raised funds for this GO-Tryke. I am verry happy, that I have the opportunity to ride it. Thank you again – I’m overwhelmed with emotions. I am so happy, and I will ride it and train as often as possible, thank you!”
I would also like to thank you once again and especially the "There-for-you" team! Together we have set an example and improved Ihor's quality of life.
Best regards
Simon
