For the 6th year, Team Gleason and the Permobil Foundation are continuing their long-term strategic partnership to provide wheelchair products and seat elevation systems, as well as the sponsorship of the Gleason Gras, so families with ALS can continue productive and meaningful lives.
“Our goal is to ensure that every person has the right to mobility. Through impactful partnerships, such as this key one with Team Gleason, we can better support those needing assistance with their complex rehab technologies,” said Ashley Davis, Executive Director of the Permobil Foundation. “We were the first in the industry to partner with Team Gleason on wheelchair parts, and Permobil take this a step further by also fast-tracking orders through production to ensure each ALS patient gets the wheelchair they need in a timely manner. People living with ALS are at the heart of this exciting collaboration, and our partnership is stronger than ever before.”
