Did you know that May is
National Mobility Awareness Month?
The purpose of this month is to educate the public that people with disabilities constitute the second largest minority group in the United States, and that they can live active and mobile lifestyles!
There are mobility equipment dealers, manufacturers, certified driver rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals in the community, dedicated to improving the lives of those with disabilities.
NMEDA or the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association, and their partners, want to share the stories of local heroes through on-line communities, the
NMEDA facebook page, blog and website.
A
local hero can be defined as anyone in your community, whether a caregiver, a veteran, or person with disabilities, who is working at overcoming mobility challenges.
Do you have a local hero? (I know I can think of one right now!) You can encourage that person to share their story by sending them to
www.mobilityawarnessmonth.com.
Local heroes, friends and family members are encouraged to vote for their story on the
National Mobility Awareness Month website.
Prizes that will be awarded to the stories with the most votes, include a minimum of
three custom WAV vehicles (wheelchair accessible vehicles), which will be awarded on national television!
So let's help get the word out and encourage people to share their stories and vote! I can already think of a friend of mine that I'm going to be sending this information to!
