Bob Charland doesn't have that long to live. The Springfield, Illinois man was recently diagnosed with a neurodegenerative brian disease two months ago and since then decided that, in order to give back to the community, he was going to spend his time repairing bikes for kids in need. On Easter Sunday, he presented a dozen kids with new bikes, just to see the smiles on their faces.
“Why not? If it’s just my time, why not do it? It’s making these kids happy, it’s promoting something positive in their life, so I’m going to keep doing it.”
And Bob wants to KEEP doing it. He has since set up a GoFundMe page to create a non-profit and help offset the cost of start-up materials. Go Bob!
