Rider Spotlight: Vicki and Kennedy

We’re thrilled to highlight Vicki (the rider) and Kennedy (her wife), out of Washington State. Vicki has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and uses her Freedom Chair to carve her way through the gravel, the mud, the beach sand, and whatever else Washington puts in her path.

Embracing Change for Lives of Possibility

When Colleen’s condition was in its early stages, she started having trouble walking… This was the beginning of adapting to perpetual change. When Colleen’s neurological diagnosis was confirmed, we experienced many raw emotions. A grieving of sorts took place. We knew the physical decline was permanent.

Rider Spotlight: Nate and Bekah

Bekah and Nate use the Freedom Chair as an everyday chair and often share photos of their adventures through muddy forests, busy bowling alleys, hilly cemeteries…and the occasional indulgence at the local ice cream shop.

For the Love of Wheelchairs

I’m a lifelong ambulatory wheelchair user, meaning I’ve been disabled since birth, and I both walk and ride. In my early twenties, around the time I got married, I was using my manual everyday wheelchair about 60% of the time.

The Overcoming of Suffering

We have always been drawn to stories of people that faced tragedy or extreme hardship and found fulfillment in their lives. Despite conditions beyond their control, they overcame overwhelming obstacles and pursued a joyous life. Life presented us with this challenge 15 years ago.
