  • My new custom titanium wheelchair came in! This wheelchair means so much to me. As a quadriplegic having a correct fitting and lightweight chair is beyond important to my independence and when my insurance would no longer approve such a chair, my community stepped up. I am thrilled, I am humbled, I am grateful.

    By the way, I also got support to repair my power chair when it broke down a few months ago. Thank God for generous and kind people out there!

    Yep! It's the difference between an able bodied person just walking normally vs being made to walk with bulky weights on their legs. :/
    Congratulations and thanks for sharing. 😊

    Looking great ma man. I just got frog legs suspension forks and they're great. The rides much smoother as they absorbs bumps, rocks, cobblestones, gravel etc. Love new wheelchair equipment and upgrades. I tell able body people that getting anything new in your chair or upgrading all together is like for an able bodied getting a new pair of legs that allow you to walk, run and turn faster. Congrats and enjoy the new ride and would love to see a follow up review and thougnts 🙌

    I’d love to have you on my podcast. I spent 30 years advocating for people with disabilities who need complex wheelchairs. How do I get a hold of you?
