The Alinker Meets Crowdfunding Campaign Goal Within 24 Hours

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - April 25, 2016 - PRLog -- The Alinker Inventions Ltd. has reached 100% of its Indiegogo campaign goal within 24 hours of the official launch on April 22, 2016. As the Alinker's official launch in North America, the campaign introduces its flagship product, the Alinker^® R-volution, a radically different walking aid for people with mobility challenges.

The Indiegogo campaign will continue to run for 40 days, with the aim of reaching all three Stretch Goals. The Alinker is geared us to raise a total of $650K in order to 1) fund the first ever Alinker Tour in North America, 2) develop custom accessories for users of the Alinker and 3) begin the development of Alinkers for children. Supporters are invited to purchase an Alinker directly through the campaign or contribute to donating Alinkers to others in need.

The Alinker is designed for everyone who wants to stay active, regardless of mobility challenges due to age, illness, or injury. Unlike traditional mobility devices, whose primary purpose is to transport a body from one location to another, the Alinker is designed to improve the health and wellness of the users, by enabling them to stay physically and socially engaged, no matter what.

The Alinker allows users to sit upright with good posture, feel safe and stable. Users are at eye level with others with free range of motion in the upper body. With handles for additional support and no stress on the lower limbs, the users propel forward using their own legs.

Barbara Alink is aDutch designer, architect, humanitarian, and the inventor of the Alinker.

The Alinker challenges the assumptions we have about people with disabilities and is a catalyst for shifting our mindsets regarding wellness and health.

"I set out to design a better walking aid for my mum; then I realized that it needed to be a vehicle for social change."- Barbara Alink

"The Alinker is the most significant technological improvement to my life, since the computer."- John Perry Barlow
