Dr. Carrie Ruxton's old tandem bike, originally intended for her daughter Erin, found a new purpose in Kenya. After posting on social media, she was surprised to receive a message from the national paracycling team of Kenya. The team needed a tandem bike for their blind cyclists, and Alice Miring'u, a prominent Kenyan cyclist, expressed interest. Despite the initial shock, Carrie decided to help. She connected with a Kenyan based in Glasgow who sent the bike back to his homeland. The bike, named Valentine, will now be upgraded for racing and tested on the track later this year. It's a heartwarming story of how a simple social media post can lead to a significant impact on a global scale, especially for athletes in need.
