How I Roll

In an ultralight Crossfire T7a…

It’s a fabulous chair. It weighs about 17 pounds, which is half of what my old lightweight chair weighed. I was often not able to lift that chair by myself to get it in and out of a vehicle. I can break this one down (the wheels come off!) and get it in and out of the vehicle without help. That is a great feeling!

It’s so much more fun, and less of a chore, to get around in this chair. As a result, I’ve been getting out and around more. I’ve lost 12 pounds in the (not quite) two months since I got this chair! Wowie zowie. It is making a huge difference in my life.
