Hippocampe Wheelchair for my City

Hello my name is Michelle Diamond. I live on the east coast in beautiful Hampton Roads, Virginia

My son Miller Diamond has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and is a full time wheelchair user.  We are an active family. We love the beach, hiking, camping, and anything outdoors related! 

The problem is power chairs are very expensive and fragile.  There are many occasions where Miller's chair just can't navigate the terrain.

This chair is the solution to all those problems. The Hippocampe is an all terrain chair.  The beach, woods, and slopes are all covered! 

The funds we raise will not only allow Miller to enjoy the great outdoors once again, but will allow all residents in our city the opportunity to get outside and flourish!

This chair will be the start of a loaner program we wish implement in Newport News. There will be a calendar set up and you can "check out" equipment just like you would in the library! The great thing is the whole thing folds up and can fit in any car!

We will get the ski's, balloon tires, the arm rests, the harness, and transport bag.

We are very thankful for every dollar we can raise. If the program is a success we would love to bring more of our sister cities in on the project!
