This week on the Live to Walk Again Podcast we had the pleasure of speaking with the Founder of All Wheels Up, a nonprofit organization pushing for wheelchairs to be able to travel on airplanes. We chatted about what the catalyst was for Michele to start All Wheels Up, the initial responses from airlines, regulators, and politicians, and how fairly typical wheelchair accessible van tiedowns could be pivotal in the implementation of wheelchairs being able to fly on airplanes. The work that Michele and all the hard-working people at All Wheels Up are doing is going to benefit everyone dealing with a disability at some point, connect with them and donate if you are able to at the links below!!
