Pioneers Gordon and Connie Hankins, leaders of the New Outlook Pioneers Therapy Oriented Tricycle (“TOT”) Trike Program in Naperville, Illinois, are this week’s People Magazine’s “Heroes Among Us.” This edition of People (the July 4th issue) hits newsstands starting June 23.
The New Outlook Pioneers Crossroads Chapter has been making and donating TOT Trikes since 1986 and Gordon and Connie have been leading the project for the past several years. The trikes are assembled by an all-volunteer project team and are provided free of charge. The Crossroads Chapter donates approximately 80 trikes per year, which translates into a $400,000 value since the beginning of the program, as it costs the chapter about $200 to build each trike.
Learn more about the TOT Trike Program and get information on how to order a trike.
