WHEELCHAIR

Thanks for your many prayers leading up to our analysis meeting.

Believe it or not, our unanimous #1 project is to build a new and improved wheelchair. We think the idea has a lot of promise, so thanks JT! The plan to move forward is pretty simple right now. JT is going to build a prototype. That will probably take about one month. During that time, we need to network in the medical community to understand how the business works and if our product really solves problems for the users.

Without going into a bunch of detail, the chair is intended to really help people. We hope it helps the occupant the most, but we also believe it can help medical staff while they help the occupant. We will leave the description of the chair purposely generic because there's no sense giving away all the "secrets!"

Here's a call to help. If you know believers in the medical community, we want to meet them. We're looking for doctors, nurses, EMTs, medical device sales people, etc. If they work with people that need wheelchairs, they're just the kind of people we want to meet. When the prototype is ready, we want to get feedback to see if we really have the product we think we have. Please e-mail contact info here. Thanks a lot!!

We intend to focus on the wheelchair idea, but we are open to pick up any of the other ideas when/if the opportunity presents itself. Some of them were complimentary (from a production standpoint) to the wheelchair and may fit right in down the road. Others were completely different and will allow us to pursue other avenues. We will remain open to launching them in the future. Again, thanks to everyone that contributed. Your creativity and passion inspires me!!!
