HEARTWARMING STORY ALERT!

On Monday, June 15, Help Hope Live teamed up with the @FlyersAlumni at the Flyers Alumni Charity Classic in Wilmington to gift a customized Freedom Concepts adaptive bike to 7-year-old Angelo and his family.

Angelo is living with multiple complex medical diagnoses, including cerebral palsy and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. He uses a wheelchair for mobility and is nonverbal, but “he has an amazing ability to communicate joy, love, and personality without words.”

One of the challenges of Angelo’s unique mobility needs is that he cannot ride a traditional bike.

While customized adaptive bikes unlock unique benefits for kids with disabilities—including fresh air, outdoor play, and rehabilitative daily movement—they are not covered by insurance. The price tag of $5,000 and up is out of reach for many families.

That’s why Help Hope Live and the Flyers Alumni partner to prove that Every Child Deserves a Bike through giveaways like this one.

Thank you to the Flyers Alumni Association and @FreedomConcepts for helping create moments of joy, freedom, and possibility for children like Angelo.

Every milestone is a moment to celebrate. As of today, 7 in 10 cancer survivors will celebrate their five-year diagnosis anniversary. Today, on National Cancer Survivors Day, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate these cancer survivors

A cancer diagnosis can change life in an instant. Along with the physical and emotional challenges of a diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, many individuals and families face significant out-of-pocket expenses for travel, lodging, medications, appointments, and other medical-related costs.

Today, we wanted to remind you that if you or a loved one are experiencing some of these challenges, you are not alone.

At Help Hope Live, we are honored to support cancer survivors and their families through trusted medical fundraising, helping communities come together to raise funds for these critical expenses.

To every cancer survivor in the Help Hope Live community and beyond: we celebrate you. Thank you for showing us what it means to keep hope moving, one day and one victory at a time. 💙

Our client Ambassadors spend so much of their time championing our mission and uplifting others—so we wanted to take a moment to celebrate them.

This June, we are proud to recognize three of our Ambassadors that have some rather large milestone anniversaries and share with you the impact each of them continues to make in our community and. beyond:

✨ June 9 ✨ As Lauren Shevchek celebrates her “Life Day” anniversary this month, we celebrate the impact she's made by using her story to create change—from promoting diving safety and participating in media interviews to share our mission, to helping others understand the lifelong realities and costs associated with a spinal cord injury.

✨ June 12 ✨Joanna McCray’s transplant anniversary gives us another opportunity to celebrate her unwavering optimism and commitment to sharing hope. From her advocacy efforts to introducing others to Help Hope Live, Joanna embodies the power of service.

✨ June 17 ✨Bill Soloway’s transplant anniversary is a meaningful reminder of the difference one person can make. Through his ongoing advocacy for organ donation and connecting transplant patients with Help Hope Live's fundraising resources, Bill continues to touch lives both within and outside of the Help Hope Live community.

Lauren, Joanna, and Bill, thank you for being such powerful voices of hope. We are so honored to be a part of your stories. 💙

In 2024, about 44,000 people died of gun-related injuries in the United States. That's why today, on the first day of Wear Orange Weekend, we are wearing orange—to honor survivors, remember those whose lives have been lost, and build community with those working to end gun violence.

Among our wonderful staff members in the photo above, you may notice a new face: Amanda Parezo, Help Hope Live client and gun violence survivor. Amanda has graciously given us permission to share a part of her story:

In 2021, Amanda was the victim of a senseless act of gun violence while in Philadelphia. While taking a break on the sidelines during a game of kickball, Amanda and her friends heard several rounds of gunfire. As she tried to get to the ground, she fell backward. In that split second, her legs went numb and motionless—she knew she had been shot.

Amanda began her fundraising campaign with Help Hope Live in 2022, and in the years since, she has become a powerful advocate and educator. Through her work as an occupational therapist and her willingness to share her experience, Amanda continues to spread awareness both at work and at home about the true emotional, physical, and mental impact of life with paralysis. As Amanda says, "I want to show people exactly what it looks like to live in a wheelchair and what it feels like to have a spinal injury."

Amanda, we are honored to be a part of your journey and thrilled to celebrate you at this year's Live It Up! gala as the 2026 Help Award recipient. Thank you for sharing your story with us and allowing us to be a part of it.

Though we are wearing orange today, we are always committed to supporting survivors and raising awareness about the lasting impact of gun violence. We are proud to support initiatives like the PHL Survivor's Fund in helping survivors access the resources, support, and hope they need to move forward. 🧡

“The more people see that disabled people are doing what everyone else can do, and pushing themselves on strenuous activities and sports, the more they see how strong the disabled community can be.”

In honor of World Bicycle Day, we wanted to highlight one of our client Ambassadors that does a 🛞 spoke-tacular 🛞 job of not only advocating for the disability community, but showing the world what strength, determination, and accessibility in motion truly looks like: meet Help Hope Live client Ambassador Dianne Vitkus!

Dianne began fundraising with us in 2020 to help offset the costs associated with her spinal cord injury. Almost a year later, she became a Help Hope Live client Ambassador—and ever since, we have had the immense pleasure of watching her continue to redefine what adventure, advocacy, and possibility can look like.

Over the last six years, Dianne has invited our community along for so many incredible moments—like her many biking adventures last fall! From adaptive mountain biking through the Vermont woods at the Kelly Brush Foundation Mountain Biking Camp and riding 20 miles in the pouring rain during the KBF Ride, to joining the Bishstrong Foundation team for its first annual 5K Run, Walk, and Roll, completing the 20th annual KBF ride, and participating in the AdaptX 5k last summer, Dianne continues to show what’s possible when accessibility, determination, and community come together.

Dianne, what makes you and your story so powerful isn’t just the miles you’ve traveled, but the joy that you share along the way. You help move conversations around disability, adaptive sports, and inclusion forward while reminding all of us that life adventure doesn’t end after injury.

Today and every day, we are celebrating the riders, advocates, and changemakers helping prove that mobility belongs to everyone—and that every ride is possibility in motion. 🛞💙 Thank you Dianne for being a pioneer of this movement!

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day, a day focused on getting everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion for the more than one billion people with disabilities worldwide.

At Help Hope Live, we are acutely aware that accessibility is not just about technology—it's about independence, opportunity, connection, and ensuring that every individual has the ability to fully participate in the ways they need and deserve.

That is what makes what we are about to say next so special: Our client Ambassador Josh Basile, Esq. has been named to the 2026 @Forbes' Accessibility 200 list.

In 2022, Josh launched a fundraising campaign with us to help offset the costs associated with his spinal cord injury. Every day since, Josh has continued to offer his insight and advocate for those both within and outside of the Help Hope Live community.

Josh, thank you for all you do to help create a more accessible and inclusive future. We are honored to be a part of your story and thrilled for your extremely well-deserved recognition.

The MOMENT eight-year-old reacts to HIS new bike 🥲

Eight-year-old Sy’Heem is living with autism and sensory processing disorder.

The diagnoses are a big part of Sy’Heem and his family’s lives. He is full of energy at home – sometimes too much energy, which leads to an overload of reactions and emotions that make things challenging.

That’s why his mom was so excited about the prospect of securing an adaptive bike for Sy’Heem.

Today, we were thrilled to gift a customized @FreedomConcepts adaptive bike to Sy’Heem as part of our 3rd Annual Hope Travels 5K event in Radnor, PA with @bbrooks72NBCS @brynmawrracing
