6 February 08

Update

Today has been good news day. Planet4pictures have come on board, they had read about my challenge and wanted to help. Add to this Arthritis Care’s publicity department, equals a great deal as regards the media coverage of this challenge. A very big and sincere thank you to Planet4pictures for your help, interest and support. You can visit their web site by going to http://www.planet24pictures.co.uk/planet24pictures

Next I have had an email from gerald-simonds This is the company dealing with supplying the Alber Adventure. We are moving forward in getting the chair and setting it up for the challenge. I am arranging, in the very near future, to go down to their offices to meet them and get the chair fitted to my requirements. You can read more about the Alber Adventure by visiting their web site http://www.gerald-simonds.co.uk/acatalog/Alber.html Also if our diary will allow, I am also hoping to meet up with a reprehensive from Arthritis Care there.

The device that will enable you to track me on your mobile or the web, is called a Geoba. This is a remarkable piece of kit that will be attached to the Alber Adventure. It also can be attached to other wheelchairs and the wearer can be tracked anywhere in the world. If you wish to find out more please visit their web site at http://www.geboa.ch/en/index.asp


Today I also confirmed that I shall have a stall at the Northumbria University Volunteer Fair. Tuesday, 26 January 08. The Venue, 1st Floor, Students Union Building. 11 am – 3 pm I am hoping that at least one or two students will be joining in the challenge.

Drinkup are working on the drinking adapter for my Alber. You can find out more about their Drinkup jug, which I use all the time in my home, by visiting their web page on www.thedrinkup.com
