A youngster who never believed he'd never be able to ride a bike has found a way to thank his teachers.
Rory Dey who's aged 11 has autism.
His parents, Karla and Stephen, had tried on many occasions to teach him.
However Rory's condition effects his motor skills, meaning he found it hard to keep his balance.
But then, shortly before Christmas, Outfit Moray came to Rory's school.
The Lossiemouth-based charity were at New Elgin Primary with the Bikeability programme, which is designed to give children the skills and confidence to ride safely.
Their expert knowledge did the trick.
Mum Karla said: "When I first heard through another parent that Rory had managed to ride a bike, I thought it must be a three-wheeler.
"Then I thought he must have had stabilisers.
"But that's not the case. He can ride a bike properly now.
"I was so excited I rang the school
"Rory is ecstatic – and I'm so proud.
"We can't thank Outfit Moray enough."
Beginning last Monday, Rory has been cycling upwards of 2.6 miles every day in order to raise cash for Outfit Moray.
The youngster has already drummed more than £500
