Louise Sertsis has been dealing with physical disability for many years. She is an advocate for the disabled, trying to make society aware that we have the same wants and needs as our abled bodied counterparts. She has had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for twenty years, and have been on long term disability for thirteen of those years. She has a university degree and a strong desire to help individuals with differing abilities. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with MS during her studies, therefore having a very different life experience than most.

Louise went through a very dark point in her life where everything seemed impossible and hopeless. She was able to emerge with a sense of purpose and excitement for the future after feeling reborn, and ready to start living once again. No one else would hire me, so she started Advanced Freedom and created the Handi Pac! Advanced Freedom is driven and inspired by the lives of people with physical disabilities.
