Five-day iCan bike camp returns into Hermiston
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
A unique day camp that
provides instruction on how
to ride bicycles returns to
Hermiston.
After a one-year hiatus,
the iCan Bike program rides
into town again — offering
individuals with disabilities
an opportunity to learn how
to ride a bicycle. Cindy Mid-
dleton was the driving force
behind bringing the iCan
Bike to Eastern Oregon after
her son, Rian, participated
in the program in Longview,
Washington.
“Cindy saw the suc-
cess Rian had when he was
younger. She saw the ben-
efi ts of the independence it
gave him,” said volunteer
Tracy Hepworth.
In addition to learning
how to ride bikes, Hepworth
said the program increases
self-confi dence and pro-
vides an opportunity for par-
ticipants to interact with oth-
ers. She said learning the
skill opens the door for out-
door fun.

at the camp.

kinson’s Resources of Ore-
gon. Dr. Delaram Safarpour
of the Parkinson’s program
at Oregon Health & Sci-
ence University is the fea-
tured speaker. The free event
is Tuesday, June 25 from
3-4:30 p.m. at St. Anthony
Hospital, Pendleton. Peo-
ple planning to attend are
asked to register at www.
eventbrite.com or by calling
1-800-426-6806.
Safarpour will speak on
the topic, “The Basics and
Beyond,” providing infor-
mation on how Parkinson’s
disease is diagnosed and
what the common symp-
toms are. In addition, she
will offer her insight regard-
ing current best practices for
therapeutic treatments.
The presentation is part
of Parkinson’s Resources of
Oregon’s effort to expand
access to services and edu-
cation
throughout
the
region. The initial launch of
the effort includes a series
of three lectures, grant fund-
ing for new exercise classes,
support group development
and personal support for
individuals living with Par-
kinson’s disease. Future lec-
tures will focus on “Living
Well with Parkinson’s” and

Riders initially utilize
special bikes provided by
the program. After working
on skills indoors, they move
outside to the track. By the
end of the week, Hepworth
said a large percentage of
the participants are able to
transition to riding their own
2-wheeled bike.
Riders are assisted by
assigned volunteers, who
must be at least 15 years
old. Also, volunteers need
to commit to the same time-
frame each day to provide
continuity for the partici-
pants. A variety of physical
activity levels are needed
from volunteers — from
those who can walk to peo-
ple able to jog at a vigorous
pace.
“We have parents that
come and help and kids that
run cross country,” Hep-
worth said. “The community
has been phenomenal and
the kids have so much fun.”
There is a mandatory
45-minute training session
for volunteers. It will be held
Sunday, June 23 at Armand
Larive. The time will be
announced.

teer registration forms and
