Georgia Debuts All-terrain Wheelchairs at its State Parks
Monday, November 14th, 2022
Wheelchair users will now be able to explore Georgia's state parks with free all-terrain wheelchairs.
The new fleet of wheelchairs are part of a collaboration between the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the Aimee Copeland Foundation, launched by Aimee Copeland, a social worker who in 2012 lost her both of her hands, one foot and most of one leg due to a rare bacterial, flesh-eating infection. The organization works to improve accessibility for disabled people, particularly through outdoor recreation. See more.
