Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat (IS) published a story about disabled Samu on February. The story got a huge amount of positive feedback - in addition he also gets a brand new Chasswheel Four X electric wheelchair and starts to design a new safety game. Samu is like anyone 14 years old teenager except he is also a person with a disability, because of the bones and gristle genetic developmental disorder. Samu cannot walk, but the family said they live normal happy life -happiness is right here, right now. Samu is a normal boy hanging out with friends, playing Playstation and his story was touched by many readers. "Teachers at school came to tell me that it was a good story and my taxi drivers did read it too and told the others that they drive my to school. It is always nice to get positive feedback."
Even bigger surprise was coming. We got a phone call from Chasswheel Ltd. and they would like to donate an electric wheelchair for me to be able to move around easier and different ground, even over some steps! The whole family is very touched by this donation and now Samu don't have to stay far when his friends go to the beach. He used to wait them on the road 20 meters from the beach, because he could not get there, but with this new wheelchair it is possible. Also moving in everyday any streets is going to be easier, because Samu can cross sills, pavings, icy roads and other obstacles independently. "Some walking streets has very high step on the side and Samu has had to drive on driving way sometimes." says Samus mother Janet. Samu also mentioned that he wants to study game designing and now he gets also an opportunity to test new safety game.
