When Ella was 2 years old, she suffered an intraventricular hemorrhage. A CT scan revealed a large arteriovenous malformation (AVM) that was deemed inoperable. Unfortunately, that AVM has ruptured multiple times throughout Ella’s young life and has resulted in deficits in her mobility, motor control, and communication abilities.
Ella continues to fight through the difficult moments and remains an exceptionally strong girl. Her parents found a tandem bike that would not only allow Ella to join her parents and younger brother on outings, but it would also foster inclusion and restore a sense of independence while assisting in Ella’s recovering.
