Wheelchair, skateboards and wheelbarrows hit the streets for muscular dystrophy

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

People are rolling down their street in wheelchairs, bikes and wheelbarrows to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy.

Roll 1k for MDA is an annual event where people roll 1km on any kind of wheels to fundraise for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of New Zealand.

This year the event is taking place virtually, with people rolling in their respective bubbles and sharing photos online.

MDA member Neil Singh has Duchenne muscular dystrophy which led to the deterioration of his skeletal, heart and lung muscles.

His parents Yasha Aggarwal and Kuldeep Singh said MDA has provided vital support for Neil.

“They knew everything, every emotion without us mentioning it,” the couple said.

“MDA has held our hand and helped us with various stages of Neil’s condition.”

People are encouraged to get creative and complete their journey on any kind of wheels like wheelchairs, electric scooters, skateboards, roller skates and push bikes.

If you decide to take part in this fundraiser, share a photo below below!

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
