The Alinker USA & Canada

Wishing our wonderful distributors in South Africa, Italy, Switzerland and Czech Republic happy holidays and a Merry Christmas! Thank you Alinker CZ, The Alinker - DACH, Alinker South Africa, The Alinker Italia

Today is International Day of People with Disabilities! "So, yes, today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. It is a day created by the United Nations to reflect on the current positioning of disability and to map the next steps for true and authentic inclusion. This year’s theme is ‘Not All Disabilities Are Visible’, reminding us of the importance of intersectionality and an acknowledgement that the breadth of the disability community is almost immeasurable - covering visible, invisible, sensory, chronic illness, disease, mental illness and more."

This is blogger Nuri and this is the story of her not giving up despite her diagnosis. Celebrating Nuri's courage and resilience "Seven years ago I was told that my cerebellum is not working properly and this is also going to deteriorate. I now know that I have a rare condition called SCAR 8. Easily explained it means that my autopilot is not working properly and this state is likely to deteriorate over time as well. However, I want to move forward. My motto is that I want ...to go from A to B. I don't care how I get there. I am very grateful to live in a country where wonderful tools are being invented to get someone from A to B when that doesn't work the usual way. That is how the Alinker came my way. A very cool balance bike that extends my range considerably. Through this blog I want to increase the reputation of the Alinker. And I also want to remove the stigma from aids. Having to use a resource can be something for the person who will use it or the environment. While the essence of a resource is: is a resource that provides help. Just like glasses, a fork, a car, a bed and so I can name a whole list. Let's just look at how a resource can help and let go of all superfluous judgments." https://runningonwheels.nl/

This is for all the kids who like to draw and color over the holidays, for kids who got to know us because they need the XS or XXS Alinker, we have started a partnership with the creator of the The Chargimals - Physical and Mental Health Monsters Look for the release of the first story about the Chargimals discovering the #Alinker ! Pre-order your XS or XXS Alinkers now https://www.thealinker.com/products/new-versions

The Alinker Family is now part of Chargieville! Chargieville is home to the The Chargimals - Physical and Mental Health Monsters, little monsters who each lives with a physical or mental health condition or general symptom. They live alongside the Normberts, who are the regular, healthy people that just don't understand what that's like to live with limitations. That doesn't stop the Chargimals though, every limitation has its solution. The Chargimals with mobility challenge...s really want to stay active so they partnered with Alinker and brought the Alinker Farm to Chargieville. Now they are able to have more fun adventures, like having races, playing sports, playing tag, and much much more. Joining their world and ours with a little touch of magic. We are also very excited to the adding smaller members to family of Alinkers bikes ranging from HS (the happy small), XS (extra small) and XXS (extra, extra small).

Sharing a #repost from Alinker user @multiplesclerosisfashionista who got her Alinker via crowdfunding "Gratitude Being thankful for the people that surround us with their love and unconditional care .... It’s not easy to have MS but it’s also very hard to be with someone with an Illness at times . We go through many emotions in a day and it’s never fun to watch someone you care about in pain or struggling . Nothings for certain in life . So today I want to give thanks to an amazing person in my life who supports me always @kimbermirage Without you a lot of things wouldn’t always be possible and I’m grateful that you often put yourself and sometimes your needs aside for me .

A share from @runningonwheels.nl about how the Alinker helps when your body does not cooperate with you. There is much more info on her blog https://runningonwheels.nl/ "Today I am tired. Really tired. So tired of how am I going to get through this day. My only goal was to get out because I knew that would do me good. With that goal in mind, I managed to get dressed because that is always a thing at times like that. Okay sort or succeeded because secretly I still have the top of my pajamas on. Anyway, we packed our bikes and we went spotting trains! And the outdoors also did me a lot of good. I am so happy with my Alinker at times like this!"

"Jasmine with us for the third time and now she has tried a ride on Alinker bike she liked it so much that she will finally be able to bike with her nurse @the_alinker_cz #ceremina #cereminacentrum #cereminarehabilitationcentrum" - Alinker CZ

"Today I started physiotherapy to optimize my new legs (wheels) to my body so that I can get everything out of it! Where in the past I sometimes found going somewhere quite a logistics thing where I always had to think carefully about how I was going to do that, now I often grab my Alinker and happily roll everywhere! And then you also have time for these kinds of beautiful pictures And then you also have time for these kinds of beautiful pictures" - @runningonwheels.nl

"Here I am in Treviso to promote a novel written by my wife @franci_chelli "Metti che vivo" (read it, it's very nice, it starts from our story and the disease that hit me and then develops with imagination . Treviso is a beautiful town and the location, The Loggia dei Cavalieri, is very central and splendid ... within a large pedestrian area! Without Alinker I would not have been able to accompany my wife. Instead, I only arrived a little late due to a storm but that'...s another story!" Carlos, The Alinker Italia See more

"Went to the old Showgrounds (yes, I’m old) to see #van Gogh alive. Wonderful day, thank Be for the #alinker #thecarekiosk #alinkerfamily #alinkerwalkingbike #vincentvangogh #sydney #mobility #ms #multiplesclerosis" - @kingridvernon

"Just a casual jog with Mum, clocking up some Ks and keeping up my various challenges commitments. Found this milestone on my travels. We have a few dotted around Portsmouth UK. I have achieved many miles on my #Alinker this past year and achieved many unimaginable milestones and goals. Today I also tried out my new gloves after suffering with numb and cold fingers during the London Marathon despite wearing two pairs of gloves. I also tried out a new face mask specifically fo...r use while running. I found it more comfortable than the regular face masks and just is an added benefit to staying safe during the covid-19 pandemic which is still very much a threat here in the UK. So, doing my bit to continue to do what I love but doing it safely. Stay safe and let’s work together to protect ourselves and each other. " - @harleysalter See more

"Great Fall day for my Alinker workout! 90 minutes. 7.6 miles" - #suffernkevin

We all know how hard it is to rebuild after a stroke. And we also know many who are using an Alinker to get back on their feet. Here the Alinker is featured on #fightthestroke: 'Finally available in convention for the #fightthestroke community the #walking #bike #alinker designed for those with #walking problems but more beautiful than a #walker and safer than a #moped scooter info in the #conventions section on the site" https://www.instagram.com/fightthestroke/

A wonderful share from Janice Archbold "My husband at Bourton on the Water UK. He was told many times that they hadn't seen one before. Also numerous people took photos of the website on the back. This was very unusual since English people show great reserve. A great deal of interest was generated"
