Bicycle riding
The challenge
Ohad loves riding a bicycle, yet his lack of control over his right leg and arm prevents him from riding independently without relying on a partner to do most of the pedaling and navigation. Ohad is seeking a solution and adaptation to a bicycle which will allow him independence and safe control while riding long distance.
Who it helps
Ohad Ben Yishai, age 23, served in the Egoz unit and suffered a critical head injury during Operation Protective Edge. Ohad has been in the process of rehabilitation for the past four and a half years and still suffers from paralysis in his right arm and leg and great speech difficulty.
