International Wheelchair Day | 2023
Celebrate with us! We celebrate International Wheelchair Day on March 1. British blogger Steve Wilkinson (a.k.a. “WheelchairSteve”) founded International Wheelchair Day to recognize the rights of wheelchair users. International Wheelchair Day goals include:
Celebrate the positive impact that wheelchairs have on users’ lives
Honor advocates working to make the world more accessible, caregivers providing support to wheelchair users, and the manufacturers/suppliers of wheelchairs
Recognize that millions of people need a wheelchair but lack the resources to acquire one – and take constructive action such as donating an old wheelchair or contributing funds*
Today and every day, Direct celebrates the positive impact a wheelchair has and the freedom it provides.
