National AMBUCS is celebrating 100 years, and VT AMBUCS is celebrating 15 years!vWe are so grateful for all your support and help. Over 500 riders have been able to get an AMTRYKE from our volunteer organization. We could not have done this without all of your help! It takes a village and what a wonderful community we have in VT.
We'd love to celebrate with you all. Please come to our Pizza Party on October 22nd, 2022 from 10am-2pm! All are welcome to attend. We're combining this with our first round of bike pick ups! The event will be held at the Waitsfield Elementary School from 10-2 with pizza lunch served from 11-1! Additionally, we have begun fundraising for all the kids currently on our waiting list! If you have not donated lately please consider it and please ask your employer to match your donations. Donations can be made to our 15th Anniversary Fund.

Aiden Colangeli AMBUCS Memorial Fund
|
Aiden Colangeli passed away unexpectedly on February 18, 2022, in his home in Bristol, Vt. He was just 16 years old.
Aiden was born in Burlington, Vt., on May 22, 2005. He was an only child. Throughout his life, Aiden had physical and cognitive challenges, which didn’t stop him from being an integral part of his community. He persevered with an unsinkable spirit through many medical challenges. He was nonverbal but communicated in many ways that showed he cared and had a huge heart. He shared his love of life with those who could see him by lighting up the room upon entry with his positive nature and easy smile. Aiden was a sophomore at Champlain Valley Union High School, where he enjoyed acceptance in the learning community and was supported by a skilled and passionate team of professionals. Aiden enjoyed the outdoors and reveled in taking in the beauty of nature. He loved watching clouds drift by on a sunny day, scanning the sky for airplanes, visiting with family and friends, dancing to music, and sharing special gifts. His legacy will be his final gift of organ donation. Aiden is survived by his mother, Corinne Hayes, of Bristol, Vt., and father, Steven Colangeli, of Charlotte, Vt., as well as stepparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents. In lieu of flowers, donations to Bristol Rescue Squad, Middlebury Regional EMS and Vermont Ambucs bikes would be appreciated. All dollars donated to this fund will go directly towards the purchase of a bicycle for individuals like Aiden who loved to ride. |
