Program Description
“All-terrain track chairs are designed with safety in mind, giving Georgians who otherwise might not be able to navigate more difficult types of terrain the ability to hit the trails and easily navigate through mud, water, sand and snow. Qualifying park visitors can experience a sense of freedom that can be difficult to have in an everyday wheelchair.”

“The Action Trackchair reshaped the possibilities and expanded the world of individuals living with mobility impairments, and today is still revolutionizing it.”
