FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A group of South Florida firefighters made a generous donation to a double amputee who cycles for charity after his bike was stolen in May.
Fort Lauderdale firefighters presented Hector Picard with a check on Wednesday to support his ride for charity.
Picard lost both of his arms in a work accident years ago, but it hasn’t slowed him down. Next month he will travel 3,200 miles on a bicycle, from Florida to Washington, to raise money for 1-year-old Jameson Davis, who was born without hands or forearms. Picard said, “I just want to show him two things: I wanna raise money for prosthetics they are having difficulty with. That and also show him that anything is possible.”
