Join Team Whizz Kidz so more children like Darby can race in the park
Before his Whizz Kidz trike, Darby would get frustrated at not being able to keep up with his sister. As soon as he was in the trike, he was off! He and his sister now race each other in the park, and he feels like any other child having fun and making friends.
