Doug Harrison, CEO and Founder of The SCOOTER Store, says he too is "pleased that the power wheelchair will restore Ms. Gares's mobility and allow her more freedom. She has devoted so much to caring for others, we are happy to do this for her."
Mr. Harrison and his wife, Susanna, started the Gift of Mobility program in December 2002 to help people like Ms. Gares improve their quality of life by regaining their independence and mobility. Since then, the outreach program has worked with organizations around the world to donate power wheelchairs, scooters and manual wheelchairs, valued at more than $200,000 a year, to community service organizations, enabling them to provide freedom and independence to individuals with limited mobility.
