TC Mobility, manufacturer of the Tank chair all-terrain wheelchair, announces its campaign to award a free Tank wheelchair from nominations of former or current active duty law enforcement officers who are wheelchair-bound. Nominations may be submitted to Law Officer Magazine, which is assisting with the nomination and award process.
After a devastating car crash left La Paz County, Ariz. Sheriff Liz Rocco paralyzed, her boyfriend, firefighter Brad Soden, built her an all-terrain, tank-treaded wheelchair, so she could go anywhere. Now building and shipping tank wheelchairs all over the world since 2005, Soden is spearheading the nomination process to identify a well-deserved to law enforcement nominee who may be facing the same limitations.
"This is an exciting opportunity to change the life of a current or former active duty officer," said Dale Stockton, editor-in-chief of Law Officer Magazine.
"The Tank wheelchair will give back an element of freedom and enhanced mobility - which most of us take for granted - to an officer who cannot get around on a beach, in snow or off-road. The recipient's life and family will be positively impacted by this gift, and we're pleased to be assisting in the solicitation of nominations."
The Tank Chair wheelchair has a large footprint that allows it to travel through snow and mud, and other places inaccessible to traditional wheelchairs. The Tank wheelchair batteries are the same batteries used in solar technology and can reach a top speed of 5 mph (8.05 km/h).
