Arasi Family Builds a Bike for Taylor Flanagan

The Arasi family has generously completed the fund raising required to purchase Taylor Flanagan’s bike and will have the honor of presenting it to her soon.

Rich and Kathy Arasi live in Milton, Georgia with their three daughters, Victoria (18), Jenny (15) and Alexandra (9). Rich is a physician and Kathy is a stay at home mom who has strength trained with Matt Russ for the last four years.  Last December, Kathy attended the inaugural  MY FIRST BIKE presentation  and was very moved and inspired by first recipient Tim Beighley’s story of perseverance, positive attitude and genuine appreciation for the opportunity to have his own adaptive bicycle.  ”There have been times during the last 18 years when my own children have had short term physical setbacks,” Kathy explains. “During those experiences, my respect and empathy for parents and children with long term challenges have greatly increased.”  The Arasis feel blessed to have healthy, active girls and want to pay their blessings forward by giving another child the chance to expand her world of play and movement with an adaptive bike.
