More Than a Chair: The Power of Mobility & Why Accessibility Matters

On March 1st, we celebrate International Wheelchair Day, a day that recognizes the importance of mobility, accessibility, and independence for wheelchair users worldwide. For many amputees, a wheelchair is not just equipment—it’s freedom.

Why Wheelchair Accessibility Is Essential

♿ Independence – A properly fitted wheelchair gives amputees the ability to move freely.
♿ Quality of Life – Mobility means being able to work, travel, and engage with the community.
♿ Health & Safety – The right wheelchair reduces strain and prevents further injuries.

The Reality of Accessibility Gaps

Even in 2024, many public spaces remain inaccessible for wheelchair users. From lack of ramps to poorly designed entrances, daily challenges make independence harder for those who rely on wheelchairs.

At Less Leg More Heart, we fund home modifications and advocate for better accessibility to ensure that amputees and wheelchair users get the mobility they deserve.

👉 This International Wheelchair Day, we encourage everyone to:
✅ Speak up for accessibility in your community.
✅ Support policies that improve mobility options for all.
✅ Educate others on the daily challenges wheelchair users face.

Your voice matters. Together, we can create a more inclusive world!
