My house is very close to some hiking trails that my current wheelchair cannot handle. The intention of this off-road chair is to provide therapy for mind, body and soul by allowing me to get a little bit more out into nature and go hiking with Beth and other friends, while confident that I will not get stuck.
Also, I have a motivating two-year goal to build my practice enough that I can self-finance a trip to complete a portion of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail in France and Spain. I already have a handful of people committed to come along and support me on this trip! An off-road wheelchair would make this trip possible. Unfortunately, Medicare/Medicaid will not cover any chairs that are off-road. The off-road wheelchair that fits the bill, sells for about $35,000 new plus a significant fee for adapting this chair to my body and I would have to pay for repairs myself. If you are curious what this wheelchair can do, check it out:
