Throw back Thursday !
Happy Thursday Everyone!
Do you know what that means? Let's have a little throw back.
Here are pictures from the 2014 National Multiple Sclerosis Annual Bike Ride in Frankenmuth. Yes, I said Frankenmuth! It turned out to be a wonderful way to spend the weekend with the family and raise awareness for MS.
Luis has been cycling since he was a teenager! The MS bike rides are a great way to do the things he loves the most, spend time with family and ride bike.
The BFA LLC. family has been involved in the disability community from the very start. After having an overwhelming amount of clients with Multiple Sclerosis, Luis and Gwendolyne knew they had to be involved with MS organizations and community to learn how they could make a difference in a cause that effects too many people they knew.
Have you participated in any bike rides, walks or other events to raise awareness/ funds for an organization close to your heart?

Wheelchairs on Airplanes
Do you or a loved one use a wheelchair for mobility? How often do you travel? What forms of travel do you prefer?
More often than not, people who travel with wheelchairs do not choose airplanes as transportation because of the inconvenience.
When you fly:
- You cannot use your own wheelchair
- Airplane seats do not provide the support you need
- Wheelchairs are broken when checked in with the luggage
- Wheelchairs even get lost
What a lot of able bodied people do not see is that wheelchairs are not accessories, they are an extension of the person. When you are transferred to another chair or worse, if you are held up in the airport because your wheelchair is lost, there are serioussituations that risk peoples lives.
Leave it to Michele Erwin, a mom of a child with disabilities, to fight for wheelchairs on airplanes. The unfortunate part is that her son cannot travel with her because it is too risky for him to fly without his chair.
Click below to watch the BBC video and learn about this incredible mom's plans for making airplane rides more comfortable for people who use wheelchairs.
