Wheelchairs help injured veterans experience more of life

by

When you’re in a wheelchair, the world may feel small, because many places aren’t easily accessible.

Other Side of the Dunes is a charity run by veterans to help open up the world for paralyzed veterans. The St. Petersburg-based charity provides wheelchairs so that people like Gulf War veteran Troy D. Conquest can enjoy simple pleasures like a trip to the beach – he calls the wheelchair life-changing.

It turns out the comfy wheelchair with oversized wheels and easy-to-use hand controls can also navigate trails, outdoor concert venues and even hills. To donate, visit the charity’s website.
