YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ruth Evelyn was born with no arms, but that doesn't stop her from accomplishing her dream of riding a bike.

Five-year-old Ruth Evelyn (R.E.) Pranke wears a shirt that says, "My ability is stronger than my disability," and her attitude reflects that message everyday. The little girl was born without arms, but she doesn't want prosthetic arms for now, because she does everything with her feet.

“There’s no ‘can’t’ in her vocabulary,” says her mom, Karlyn Pranke.

When R.E. decided she wanted to ride a bike, her family rushed to support her.
