Thanks for this Lisa !!

Look how cute I was when I was little!

This was my first wheelchair. It was called the ’Turbo’, and it was. It went so fast that I could keep up with the other kids on their bikes!

I loved this wheelchair so much. I couldn’t wait to get home from school each day so that I could ride around the streets with everyone else. I would also give the other kids a ride on the back and pull them along on their skateboards and roller skates.

There was also one time that I was going so fast and couldn’t stop that I hit a parked three-wheeled car and pushed it up the road. Or so I’m told!

It was so comfy as well. There hasn’t been a wheelchair that I’ve had since that has even compared to this one.

The Turbo wheelchair was made by a company that is now known as Dragonmobility.

Have you ever had a favourite wheelchair?

Nice read from Sarah in Wonderland about embracing who you are. Enjoy!

Here at the Gastrobility Groove we like healthy meals. We also like christmas and the food that comes with it. So today it's Gingerbread cookies turn to shine! As usual, we got the recipe from TheCPDiary: http://bit.ly/1cn1JaX

Gingerbread cookies are a tasty treat that evoke christmas memories in all of us. They also are a calories-dense food, so it is important to remember to not eat too many! As everything made with butter and sugar, Gingerbread cookies contain high amounts of fat and sugar, which are good sources of energy when taken in moderate amounts but unhealthy if abused.

So go warm up the oven and get ready for Christmas!

It's good to see a major company like Airbnb take accessible travel seriously. Let's hope this is the start of a worldwide trend rather than an isolated case!

By acquiring Accomable, a startup launched by two childhood friends, the rental accommodation company will list accessible places to stay all over the world
