CRESTVIEW — A beloved senior citizen and town fixture says she enjoys riding a tricycle that numerous residents bought her.
Sara Reese, known as "Ms. Sara," often travels Crestview streets using just her walker. She frequently wears a neon shirt that says, "Please don't hit my back."
But now when she wants to travel down North Ferdon Boulevard, or otherwise get around town, she has an alternative.
Sixty-three Crestview residents raised $1,660 in two months on GoFundMe to purchase a new tricycle for Reese.
Before, Reese would have to hang groceries and other things on her walker.
Her new, pink set of wheels has more storage, with a basket in the front and one in the back. In addition, the tricycle features a canopy embroidered with, "Sara."
"I love it," Reese said. "It makes it a lot easier" to get around.
But don't expect Reese to entirely give up walking.
"It's good for my heart," she said.
