I gave a presentation to Transitions St. Alberta and their Jump start class.
Hello, my name is Timothy
Maxwell, and my mission
is to help people who use
wheels. I'm an independent advocate for people that use wheels. I’m running a
team of helpers called Mightywheels.
Because, when I first started using
wheels, I noticed many poor surface areas and wanted to create an internet blog
to help other people who use wheels. The city has made many improvements, but there is much to do. Help is still needed for everyone, from parents pushing
baby strollers, the
elderly with their
walking devices, or people like me, in wheelchairs.
So, I went back to school
to learn how to create a team of people that could help me with my endeavor, I call this Mightywheels. The
teams objective is to raise awareness to the problems people who use wheels
face everyday. These include poor surface areas on city intersections, poor sidewalks and sidewalk ramps, and non-accessible places
of business.
It is Mightywheels mission to work with all businesses to try and find ways to make them more wheel friendly.
That way, all customers
will have improved accessibility.
We want equal
accessibility, so we can all access our beautiful city.
