WHEELCHAIR FILLS OUTDOOR NEEDS

Necessity was the mother of invention in Jackson when Robert Foulk invented a new kind of wheelchair for his stepson, Keith.

This wheelchair designed for outdoor use can motor through all terrains. It depends on tracks like a tank or bulldozer to negotiate curbs, steps and grassy, uneven backyards.

A patent is pending for the outdoor wheelchair. The Jackson man is in negotiations with an Ohio manufacturer to produce and distribute the wheelchairs.

This creation could be a big boost to wheelchair-bound children with a taste for high adventure in the great outdoors.
