Testimonials from Movers

2022 MFM 150x150 Gretchen

“When I saw that Free Wheelchair Mission was having a 'Move for Mobility' challenge, I thought it was perfect for our gym to get involved and be a part of it with challenges of our own, to really focus on how mobility has changed our lives... I felt like it was a perfect opportunity to be able to spread the message, have our gym involved, and get it known to other people in the community."

-Gretchen DeSouza, Ambassador for Free Wheelchair Mission

"I believe that when I walk for mobility, I am not just walking to raise funds for wheelchairs. I'm not walking only to change lives for those around the world who cannot walk. But, with Jesus' blessing, I am also walking for my donors. I am reminding them of my own mobility journey and what Jesus has done, can do, and will do through each and every one of us by the power of His love. I believe walking to be a 'Jesus-team' journey of love, new and different every time."

-Nanette Suarez, Ambassador for Free Wheelchair Mission

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to participate virtually?

It means you can do whatever activity you love to do, wherever you are, all for a great cause!

With the Move for Mobility, you can run in your backyard, on a treadmill, or at an official race. You can walk around your neighborhood or hike a local trail. You can bike out in the open air or get your miles in on a stationary bike. Swim laps, do jumping jacks... It's all up to you!

Can a group or team participate in Move for Mobility?*

Absolutely! We encourage groups of any size to create a team page and help us spread the word about the need for mobility worldwide and provide the solution through fundraising for wheelchairs. This includes schools, churches, businesses, sports teams, running/spartan groups and more! Visit our group page for more information.

Our staff is happy to help you customize an event that fits your group needs. Please contact Dana Hindman, National Ambassador Manager at dhindman@freewheelchairmission.org  for more information.

Does it cost anything to register?**

No! It is free to sign up for the Move for Mobility. Our hope is that you will be inspired to fundraise or donate to help at least one person receive a new wheelchair. Each $96 donation will change someone’s life forever!

What does registration include?**

When you sign up for Move for Mobility on our Classy platform, it automatically creates an online fundraising page for you to share on your social media and text to family and friends by generating a dedicated link.

Once registration is complete, you can customize your fundraising page through the manage icon, located at the top right of your fundraising page. It is important to set a goal and tell your story which will inspire everyone who visits your page to support your efforts. Don’t forget to add a photo of yourself or your team in your new Move for Mobility gear!

When we receive your registration, Free Wheelchair Mission will mail you a Move for Mobility t-shirt and wristband. Our shirts are made of fast dry sports fabric and come in sizes for youth, men, and women.**
