Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 32 | Before my Dad passed away, someone GAVE us a brand new INVACARE wheelchair so I would be able to take him back and forth for his treatments. The Cancer center was always so busy that they would be out of their own wheelchairs by the time we would get there . . . My Dad only used it three times . . . This is not a transport (weighs about 44 lbs) but folds up and will hold up to 250lbs. Here is a link to a pic of it . . . http://www.discountscooters.com/in-mg.htmlI would love to pass this on to someone on this board who is in need. My Dad would have wanted it this way . . . I live in Bucks County, PA if anyone is from the area . . . I would gladly meet anyone north or south within an hour or so . . . Thanks, Laura
