Description

Maneuvering a wheelchair presents many situations that are much different than a person who uses their legs to get around.  When you offer to help someone in a wheelchair, here are a few things you should keep in mind.

In this Episode:

• Kyle checks out a new section of bike trail so Sean wants to make sure he does it safely.
• You Got This, Mental Health featuring Kate Walker - Depression is common for people living with Rare Disease - Kate shares a bit of her experience dealing with depression.
• Sean brings his "Top Ten" list of annoyances while traveling in a wheelchair - constructive feedback for those who want to help.
