CHALLENGESS

.  Ample time is needed to adequately train with a wheelchair way before a race.In the above circumstances wheelchair I would hire a wheelchair just before race.Though I was too quick to adapt,this remained a pain poin.

. Specific type of wheelchair can help me to attain betterlike those result where I came 1st or 2nd .  In all those moments I was using hired sport wheelchair

  • I do not own a racing wheelchair other than an ordinary and I would appreciate if I have my own.
