May is National Mobility Awareness Month and the Non-Profit
group, National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association or NMEDA, is
highlighting Local Heroes in communities all across America who live with
restrictive mobility issues. Over 18
million people in North America are currently living life to the fullest
despite having mobility issues. As a way
to raise awareness in communities regarding solutions to make everything more
accessible for people with disabilities, NMEDA is currently accepting stories
from the Local Heroes which are on display here.
People can vote for Local Heroes and the top 5% of vote
earners have a chance to win a brand new Custom Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle,
generously provided by Chrysler, Toyota, and Honda.
Above is Robert Miner, who was awarded a 2012 Toyota Sienna
after being featured as a Local Hero in last year’s awareness month. This year, DeliveryMaxx is proud to be able
to voice support for a Hero in our area, Justin Fetz.
Justin is a 29 year old who lives in Van Alystne, Texas and
spends his entire year helping raise awareness and providing encouragement to
people living with disabilities as he works for a local non-profit organization
called Camp Craig Allen. He is a very
great and inspiring young man who this writer is fortunate to know, you can
read his Local Hero story here. We invite everyone to please give Justin a Vote
and help him have a better chance at winning a much needed new vehicle. Voting will conclude on Friday, May 10, 2013
and the winners will be announced on May 25th so don’t wait, vote
now! And from everyone at DeliveryMaxx, good luck to Justin and
all of the Local Heroes across the globe!
