Day 127: Voted for a Local Hero in Honor of National Mobility Awareness Month

One Smile Every Day | I'm on a mission to make someone smile every day this year by completing acts of kindness | Day 127: Voted for a Local Hero in Honor of National Mobility Awareness Month

National Mobility Awareness Month is sponsored by The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) and "is dedicated to showing the world how people with disabilities can live active, mobile lifestyles." In celebration of National Mobility Awareness Month, the NMEDA and partners are awarding at least 4 customized wheelchair accessible vehicles to Local Heroes who have overcome the challenges of living with a disability. Today, I decided to vote for Adam Helbling. Adam was injured in a car accident in 2011 and despite his injuries and struggles with bipolar disorder and drug abuse, he earned a degree from The Ohio State University and authored a book. Adam is also a motivational speaker for schools, medical groups, accessibility design groups and TEDx OSU. Voting ends on Friday 5/9; visit mobilityawarenessmonth.com to vote for a Local Hero :)
