Story
I need a powered chair that can allow me to go through nature trails, gravel, grass and mud My current chair only goes over flat terrain (paths) also would need compartment for ventilator and attendant controller as I can no longer steer chair with my hand. I want to do everything I possibly can with my family while I can.
currently I watch them from a distance which is very frustrating for me and my family as they want me to be with them through nature walks trips to the park and basically any where with rough terrain.
for those who don't know me I have MND motor neuron disease and use a ventilator, I have a wheelchair adapted car so I can get out and about but unfortunately most places are limited with disabled access for the chair I have.

7 years agoThank you to everyone who contributed to raising funds for my new Wheelchair, especially the kind people who don't even know me. Thanks to Deans bowling club, Svdp st Peters paraish, a friend in London and Peter Johnston for raising the rest of my target plus a lot extra that will cover my adaptions and upgrades to the chair so will be as comfortable as possible with extended warranty and insurance. Thank you everyone :-)
