Just after SuperWalk, I got a link from Brennan who found a very interesting website promoting a new concept of a four season all terrain wheelchair. So what was I supposed to do? Start fundraise quickly to see how long it would to raise the funds so we could have one of these in Peterborough. If you remember Brennan, a young early onset PWPs, has lost most of his mobility and was in a situation that neither of his traditional chairs could be used outdoors safely.
Well the fundraising went fast and were given a loan to close the gap by our chapter. So here we are, Brennan and I on his porch giving the new chair a quick (and short spin). Once he got to the end of the porch Brennan asked where reverse was so he could back up and do it again!
Anyone interested to give the GRIT Freedom Chair a try, contact me at joevank53@gmail.com and will try to arrange an indoor try with outdoor sessions in a week or two. Thanks to all those that help fund the first chair and those that will help us get another. (All sessions with the chair will take into account current Covid-19 requirements)
