Variety's Mobility Program helps children with disabilities gain mobility, strength, confidence, independence and the chance to join in the life of their community by providing funding for walkers, wheelchairs, specially-designed adaptive bikes and therapeutic strollers to families with the most need. Variety believes that no child should miss out on simple pleasures of childhood like riding a bike simply because the adaptive equipment needed is not covered by insurance and too expensive for the family.
