A young boy's BDI ice cream dreams are coming true "Lickety Split."

Lincoln Laurin is a four-year-old boy from a family farm in Anola, Manitoba. His parents say he is very hardworking and loves dinosaurs, his family, and his horse Hercules. Lincoln lives his life full of joy.

"He loves making people laugh and have fun, like daddy I guess," laughs Pierre, Lincoln's father.

Lincoln was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was three weeks old. The inherited disease causes damage to organs, primarily to the lungs.

s son in a special way.

"(Today is) a whole day dedicated to him just to have ice cream, and to be a cowboy and to be a treasure. I can not imagine a better day."

Dedicating their lives to Lincoln, the family hopes to help curate Lincon's joy for the world by taking a cross-Canada road trip once it is safe for the family to do so in an RV. 

Calling the RV a work in progress, Pierre says that it requires customization for their son. The bus required for the family's adventures will not come cheap, which is where the Dream Factory comes in.

When initially chatting with the Manitoban charity, the Dream Factory shares that Pierre mentioned that Lincoln got his chores done "lickety-split."

"Lincoln is one of many children we work with each year," Andrew Kussy, the Dream Factory's Development Manager says. "We wanted to do something really special to make this dream come true, and we are lucky to have our friends at BDI and St. Leon's Gardens to make that happen."

Partnering with St. Leon's and the Bridge Drive-In, Lincoln now has an ice cream treat of his own: “Lincoln’s Lickety Split”. 

"We kinda put our thinking caps on," BDI's co-owner Justin Jacob says. "We kinda see what they like in terms of toppings and it all comes together pretty quickly." 

Lincoln's ice cream treat is ice cream made with strawberries, and is topped with Manitoba saskatoons, blueberries, more strawberries, banana and finished with whipped cream.

This is not the first time BDI and the Dream Factory have partnered. Last year, they created the "Cloud Nine" for Drea Pepe, a young girl with medulloblastoma.
