The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from hydrocephalus, a buildup of liquid in the brain that often causes balance disturbances. When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three-wheel bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance issues.

Soon after she got her bike, she was training for professional sports training. In a magazine interview, she said, ‘I always knew there was an athlete in me. ’” So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that􀆳s just a start. “I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies,” McLindon says. “ But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do. ” 1. Which of the following led McLindon to start the foundation? 　 　 　 　 A.
