Always be nice, Or..

Oneday, I was chatting with my friend Sam, and he expressed his bewilderment over the lack of concern people had for what myself, and Mightywheels, are trying to do for people who use wheels. People who can walk take walking completely for granted! Sam works as an apprentice Bio-Science Technician, and he uses wheels, too. Sam’s brother, Rob, joined in on the conversation, and shared his unconventional, even drastic, view, on what he thought would be the necessary measure to drive this point home. Rob wondered aloud what would happen if he were to inject victims that take walking for granted with an inject-able paralytic agent. Rob had a lot of time to think while in prison, and in his somewhat warped mind, he thought he could affect a positive change in thinking. Nearing Rob’s release date, he asked Sam to build the device. Though reluctant at first, Sam eventually gave into Rob’s insistence, and realized that this, if nothing else, could raise awareness to the problems that those who use wheels face. At first Rob injected fellow inmates; those that had committed more heinous crimes. In a way, Rob felt this was a sort of redemption for his own transgressions. His window of opportunity presented itself during the monthly fire drill. The inmates were marched out of their cells, single file, and he found himself behind James Gabrattino, an inmate sentenced to life. Gabrattino was one bad dude, and most other inmates did not want to associate with him. As they were returning to their cells, Rob twisted exiting his cell, into the hall and poked James with the device. The needle went deep into his thigh. Almost instantly, James started complaining, “What the hell is going on with my toes? They’re burning, so bad I want to kill someone.. A voice in Jame’s head says, you shouldn’t have been so mean to that guy in the wheelchair.

Accessibility for you and me..

The mission of Mightywheels is to help everyone who uses non-motorized wheels, with the exception of handy-capped motorized scooters.

When I first started using my wheels, I noticed many poor surfaces areas and wanted to create an internet blog to help let other people who use wheels know about them. This can be anyone from parents pushing baby strollers, the elderly with their walking devices, or people like me in wheelchairs.

I went back to school to learn how to create a team of people that could help, called Mightywheels. The team objective is to bring attention to the things the people who use wheels feel isn't right. Some examples are poor surfaces areas in city intersections, poor city sidewalks, sidewalk ramps, non-accessible places of business, and other problems people who use wheels face everyday.

If you don't use wheels, you may have not noticed that the last business you entered may have not had a button to open the door for you. You probably opened the door yourself and didn't even notice. Someone who uses wheels can struggle to enter this business independently.

It's Mightwheels' mission to work with a business to try and find ways to make them more wheel friendly for all, that way all customers will be able to access them easier and all businesses want more customers.

We want equal accessibility, so we can all access our great city! Become part of this great project and let's make Edmonton an even more progressive city than it already is!

I'd really like..

Personal Mission

My names Tim,  I started Mightywheels to help everyone. I myself can difficultly make it over most of city of  Edmonton's poor surface areas, but what about other people. In my time of using a wheelchair, I have noticed many improvement to our city, but there is room for many more. I have taken on this personal mission too help. I could of joined a church and focused on my self, but that would only help me, I was put in is position to help more then just me.
