We’re always eager to experiment and try new things. This time, we’re excited to put one of our projects to good use! Partnering with the Manx Club, they’ll be raffling off this body at their Big Bear event, with every dollar raised going directly to —an autism awareness charity led by Manx Club member Nick Rodia.
Below is Nick’s mission statement and info on his autism awareness goals.
“My name is Nick Rodia and I am an adult with autism. I am 32 years old and I have been riding a kick scooter for over 25 years. I have always had a passion for scooting, but the main reason why I ride is to bring awareness to the community about autism and what can be accomplished even with this diagnosis. I have recently relocated to Star, Idaho where I teach and help kids about scooters and scooting activities at my local skatepark. I do this through my actions, words and my sponsors. I also share information with kids and parents about scooting and autism. The message I spread is: If you try hard enough, and put your mind to it, you are capable of anything. Stick to it, and you can accomplish your dreams. I am able to help kids learn to ride , do tricks and fix their kick scooters. Through the support of sponsors donations, I am able to give out helmets, scooters, parts, apparel and other products. I give them out to kids at the skatepark that are in need of them. I do a shout out to all companies who donate to me and ask parents to allow me to post a picture of me giving out things the sponsors provide. I help support my sponsors through my Instagram page . This benefits all that support my cause.
My life scripture is Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
