    Calling all gift guide testers!!!
    By JLo   
    The 2012 Holiday Gift Guide for Individuals Living with Paralysis is in full gear. We are looking for individuals living with paralysis to be official "Reeve Foundation Gift Guide testers!"

    We would provide you with the item/s and ask to use it a few times and let us know your thoughts. Love it, hate it, why? 

    Are you interested? Please email me at:

    JLoBello@ChristopherReeve.org expressing your interest. Please email me with your name, address, and most importantly your injury level or abilities (ie: use of hands, etc.)


    Some (but not all!) items available for testing are:

    - Light Switch Extenders in various lengths

    - Cover Up Shop adaptive clothing (anti-spill denim vest, men's Velcro button down shirt)

    - Silvert's Disability Clothing (Women's blouse with buttons and fold-over flaps, men's polo shirt with Velcro, men's pants)

    - Ram mounts (iPad holders, Universal smartphone mounts)

    - AbleMart Solutions for Independent Living (Various kitchen products like cutting boards, spatulas, and tongs; Mocsocks, and Easywear fleece jacket [pictured above])

    I would like to test products for your gift guide! I am a c5 c6 with limited hand use. I can grip things that fit in my fist and I have pretty good upper body functions.

    I am a walking quad, C5, since 2/28/2010. My upper body still has contractions but I can drive a car and take care of most of my daily needs.
