What Inspires Me? #15 Carrying Kevan

Just watch the video. Yes! Click and watch. You’ll see. Then scroll down to read more.

Kevan Chandler grew up in the foothills of North Carolina. He is the youngest of three siblings and the second to be diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, type 2, a rare neuromuscular disease. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in counseling from John Wesley College. In the summer of 2016, Kevan and his friends took a trip across Europe, leaving his wheelchair at home, and his friends carried him for three weeks in a backpack. Read More of Kevan’s story!

This photo and more are on the We Carry Kevan website.

Along with having a grand time traveling, Kevan and his buds give backpacks modeled after the one they customized for Kevan to families of others with disabilities so they can explore, play, travel—experience the world together!

Whether that means climbing all 30 million steps of the Great Wall

Enjoying a wee walk in the park

Watching a high school football game in the bleachers—maybe even the very back row!

Going Any Place a Wheelchair Can Not!
