We’re thrilled to begin another year of Move for Mobility, our global fundraiser that aims to change lives through the gift of mobility.  

This May, Invacare employees, ambassadors, clients, and partners are joining forces worldwide to get moving, raise awareness, and support our incredible partner, Free Wheelchair Mission. 

Free Wheelchair Mission is a humanitarian non-profit organisation that provides wheelchairs at no cost to individuals with disabilities in remote communities worldwide. 

Invacare has been proud to partner with them for six years, contributing our engineering, testing, and distribution expertise to help create durable, effective wheelchairs. Together, we’re making mobility accessible for those who need it most around the world, free of charge. 

Last year, we raised $28,442, which provided 294 life-changing wheelchairs to people who needed them. This year, we’re setting our sights even higher. 

Every €88 provides a wheelchair for someone in need. Whether big or small, every donation counts and makes a real difference. 

Geoff Purtill, President and CEO of Invacare, recalls the emotional impact of seeing the campaign’s results firsthand. He said “In 2024, I had the privilege of personally delivering wheelchairs to the Dominican Republic. Seeing the impact up close was incredibly moving. 

“This year, we’re aiming even higher—uniting employees, ambassadors, customers, and partners across the globe to help more people access something as basic, yet life-changing, as a wheelchair.” 

Highlighting the scale of the impact, Free Wheelchair Mission’s Chief Executive, Nuka Hart, explains, “Around 80 million people worldwide need a wheelchair, but most can’t afford one. Invacare’s support—especially their engineering and testing expertise—has elevated our chairs' durability and effectiveness.  

“Together, we’re not just donating wheelchairs; we’re delivering independence, dignity, and hope.” 

Let’s make 2025 our biggest year yet! Get involved, donate, and help us give the gift of mobility to those who need it most: invacaremoves.org.
