Maxim Volkov is a boy of 14 years old from the Perelozhnikovo village, Vladimir region.

Maxim was diagnosed with cerebral palsy with a syndrome of motor disorders – a consequence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Through constant rehabilitation, Maxim is now able to walk, but what he cannot yet do is ride a bike.

Knowing about his dream for a special bicycle developed for children with cerebral palsy, the Foundation sponsored the purchase and delivery of a VeloDoctor “Start 4”.

Riding this bike is part Maxim’s physical therapy as, when riding the bike, a child develops the leg and hand muscles, strengthens the back muscles and, consequently improves the coordination of movements. We hope that the sessions on the bike will not only be a wonderful pastime, but also benefit the health of Maxim.
