Jayden Gets his Wheels
An excited 11-year-old Jayden Brown went from two wheels to three as he raced around Paul C. Bunn Elementary’s gymnasium on his new hand-crank bike. “It’s truly a blessing and truly remarkable for him to enjoy being a kid,” said a teary-eyed Charitter Brown about her son. “This is just another example of him never letting his disability stop him.” Jayden was born with spina bifida, a birth defect in which an infant’s spinal cord doesn’t properly develop. He uses special leg braces and a walker to walk, as well as a wheelchair to get around.
