top text: I am not "wheelchair bound."
bellow on the left is a photo of a person sitting in their wheelchair, on them are heavy metal chains, they look distressed
on the right is a photo of the same person, out on a nature path that is surrounded with trees, along with their medical assistance dog, both look happy
bottom text: Wheelchairs give people mobility. So please stop saying "wheelchair bound" or "confined to a wheelchair." I "use a wheelchair" and I am free!
