B
Chair
I
got
out
of
the
hospital
back,
then
lead
52
pounds
and
was
made
out
of
steel
essentially
and
was
while
it
was
pretty
flexible
compared
to
the
older
chairs.
It
was
really
pretty
heavy
I
got
into
lighter
chairs
that
were
more
expensive,
but
they
were
made
of
alloys
or
whatever
and
I
used
those
for
everyday
chairs
and
then,
when
I
got
into
wheelchair
athletics,
we
went
to
a
different
type
of
chair.

B
Of
the
equipment
that
we
have,
that
oftentimes
is
wasted,
I
mean
I,
can
pay
two
thousand
dollars
for
a
chair
in
four
years
later,
with
minimal
use
for
minor
use,
try
and
trade
it
back
into
a
company
that
I
bought
it
from
and
they'll
give
you
a
five
hundred
dollars.
You
know
and
it's
crazy
what
happens
so
a
lot
of
people
just
hang
on
to
them
or
you'll.
Now
we're
donating
more
of
them,
but
that's
great
Minnesota.
A
5,000
is
a
campaign
through
Johnny
and
Friends
wheels
for
the
world
program
to
collect
five
thousand
wheelchairs
in
the
state
by
the
year
twenty
twenty-two
50
have
been
collected
so
far
used
wheelchairs
can
be
dropped
off
at
Delta.
Building
g
near
humphrey
terminal
2
from
their
army
reserves,
prepare
them
for
shipping
to
correctional
facilities
where
inmates
across
the
country
restore
them.
The
chairs
are
then
sent
to
Mexico
Central
and
South
America,
China
and
Poland.
There's.
