After nine years as a full-time wheelchair user, Lana, who lives in Dublin, is walking with LifeGlider. Following treatment for a brain tumour, she experienced ataxia and severe balance difficulties. Supported walking has opened up a different way to take part in everyday life.
Her published account describes getting used to the frame and walking into a supermarket again. For Lana, choosing her own shopping and moving through the world on her feet were personal milestones. Her story shows what that opportunity meant to her.
