“I attended NORA for a day event for people with disabilities to try out the GRIT Freedom all-terrain wheelchair. I had the most amazing experience! Scott, the owner, is an absolute pleasure and I was delighted to hear him talk about his past experiences helping people with disabilities get out in nature! I was able to get in an all-terrain wheelchair and get out in the woods in a way that isn’t possible for me without expensive adaptive equipment. On top of that, some big, lifted vehicles were brought out and we were all welcome to come along for an off-road trek through the woods! Thanks to a special platform that NORA has for people who use wheelchairs to get them up and into these vehicles, I was able to get out even further into the woods! I was with Alex, Scott’s son, and he was an amazing driver! The whole experience brought tears to my eyes because I love nature so much, and getting out is hard for someone with a spinal cord injury. Thank you, NORA! I cannot wait to come back!” – Adryan, Google Review – Aug 2022
