UDC Accepting Donations for Action TrackChair

Living in the shadows of the ongoing war on terror are our Veterans who lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan. A few of those brave folks lost all four limbs when bombs blew apart their bodies. When reality sinks in and the injured realize how dependent they are without all of their limbs, often there are severe psychological consequences. Many of the soldiers and Marines who lost limbs were self-reliant achievers who lived life on their own terms. The bombs changed all that.

The Action TrackChair is an all-terrain wheelchair that can literally go anywhere. Small switches give physically challenged folks almost full mobility and an acute sense of independence. Countless Veterans who have lost their mobility now have a chance to re-experience the outdoors with the help of these marvelous all terrain wheelchairs. No longer must our Veterans be confined to the pavement! Fishing, hunting, going to the beach, even playing with their own children in their backyard are all now possible.

The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) is a 501 (c) (3) organization and is accepting donations. Please make your check payable to Arkansas Division UDC and send to State Patriotic Activities Chairman, Sheila Beatty, 27 Doblez Circle, Hot Springs Village, AR 71909-5109; please mark the memo line “TrackChair.”
