Brad Soden, a combat veteran and plumber, was deeply moved by his wife Liz’s tears after a car accident left her paralyzed, limiting her ability to join their five children on family hikes and camping trips. Determined to help her regain independence, Brad spent years designing a special wheelchair that could navigate mountainous terrain. His creation, the “Tankchair,” uses tank-like treads, enabling Liz to go camping, hiking, and even chase her kids outdoors. The wheelchair, which costs between $12,000 and $15,000, has a three-month waiting list and is particularly appreciated by injured soldiers. Brad plans to offer these chairs for free to veterans, despite them not being covered by insurance due to their classification as recreational vehicles.
