Wheel:Life Publishes Fundraising Advice Book for People with Disabilities

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. - Jan. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Wheel:Life, an online community for wheelchair users worldwide, has published 10 Fundraiser Ideas to Help People with Disabilities as a new e-book on Amazon.com. Wheel:Life publications center on sharing resources and support for people who use wheelchairs.

Within 10 Fundraiser Ideas to Help People with Disabilities, readers will discover brainstorming ideas for different types of fundraiser events to benefit an  individual with a disability who needs financial assistance for medical equipment, physical rehabilitation, adaptive sports equipment or daily medical needs.

Author Lisa Wells shares real-life examples and success stories throughout the book based on her lengthy healthcare marketing career that includes more than 20 years of ongoing interactions with healthcare providers, disability advocates, non-profit supporters and peer support group members.

“Wheel:Life receives hundreds of inquiries each year from people who are seeking advice on ways to raise money for medical equipment, adaptive sports gear or specialized health care,” Wells says. “While Wheel:Life doesn’t have the funds to financially support these requests, we are able to provide intelligent support by offering resources like this book.”

• Paralympian and UroMed founder Bert Burns on how he raised support to begin his career in wheelchair racing

• Project Walk Atlanta participant Leslie Ostrander on how she raised money for additional rehab
