Santa Claus made an early appearance to surprise a special young man by granting his greatest Christmas wish. Brooklet Elementary student Jason Michael Carpenter received his very first bicycle, an AmTryke, from Savannah AMBUCS at The Therapy SPOT in Statesboro on Thursday.Seven-year-old Jason Michael, the son of Jason and Christie Carpenter, walks with the assistance of leg braces and a walker and was born with a rare disease that affects his muscular system, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, type 1E. Jason Michael is the youngest patient in the United States to be diagnosed with CMT-1E.But the disorder didn’t stop this little boy’s dream of riding a bicycle just like his friends.Jason Michael receives therapy at The Therapy SPOT, which stands for “Speech, Physical, and Occupational Therapy,” twice a week and aquatic therapy at Splash in the Boro once a week. Not long ago, occupational therapist Kirsten Patterson and physical therapist Katie Rich began looking into starting a local chapter of AMBUCS to serve Bulloch County and surrounding counties.
