Blogpost: Machu Picchu!

Fresh off my trip to Bend, Oregon, where I test drove a manual mountain bike wheelchair #AdvenChair and with my recent fundraiser that granted me the opportunity to buy it. Which I feel so blessed, grateful, and loved that the people I call my community stepped up and faithfully gave money. The only way I know to truly thank them and God for the awesome providence they bestowed on me is use the chair continually and spread God’s message of love, peace, and grace everywhere I travel. Such trips include the redwoods, Australia, Banff, Yellowstone, Sedona, and the Amazon (not the warehouse the jungle haha). Hopefully I go so often I can quickly broaden my horizon and tour more east then California and then on to Europe. I’m going to try to take over the world. (in my best pinky and the brain accent)

Creating an AdvenChair for the Outdoors

After surviving two near-fatal strokes in the last 15 years, Geoff Babb is more determined than ever to enjoy the outdoors.

Babb and his team have developed the AdvenChair—a modified all-terrain wheelchair with bigger tires, high-grade aluminum components, and a design that enables a small team to guide a rider through steep terrain. Today, Babb is continuing to refine the design and hopes to attract investors so more people with disabilities can access and enjoy the outdoors beyond paved surfaces.
