Akio was removed from his family for medical neglect and has cerebral palsy and epilepsy. These diagnoses do not define him though! Akio's smile lights up a room. He has recently been placed in permanent custody and they are hoping that his current foster family will adopt him. He loves being outside. And he likes to think of himself as a "foodie."
The National Youth Advocate Program requests this wish for Akio.

"Thank you so much for giving Akio a bike day! A day he will never forget! He cannot wait to hit the pavement. This is more than just a bike for Akio, its the opportunity for him to feel just like his friends. His boisterous spirit will continue to grow, and shine, thanks to you, and his new ride. Thank you so incredibly much for making such a difference! "
