Life is more than just the daily routine of work, eat, and sleep. It's about the moments that bring us joy - spending time with friends, pursuing passions, and engaging in activities that light up our lives. For many, that means participating in recreational pursuits like running. However, for individuals with physical disabilities, access to these activities can often be limited.

Enter Scott Anderson, an avid park runner with a passion for making a difference. When Scott saw how difficult it was for some families to participate in one of his favourite activities - Park Running - he knew there had to be a solution.

Scott, who is also deeply involved in the assistive technology world, found that solution in the xRover Recreational Stroller. This all-terrain stroller, designed to support individuals with mobility challenges, opens up a world of opportunities for families eager to engage in outdoor activities like long-distance walks and runs. With its advanced postural supports and robust design, the xRover allows users to tackle off-road trails with ease, giving them access to outdoor adventures they might not have been able to experience otherwise.

Scott’s first initiative began in Cairns, where he made the xRover available for families to use free of charge. By providing this equipment, he ensured that those with physical limitations could enjoy Park Running alongside their community. When he later returned to his hometown of Bundaberg as General Manager of MOVE Mobility, he continued his mission. This time, he teamed up with Park Run Queensland Director, Phil Dunkley, to spread the word about the xRover and make it available to even more families across Queensland.

The response has been inspiring. The xRover has helped community members participate in Park Runs at locations like Cairns, Bargara, and Elliot Heads. One particularly memorable moment was when Carly Rehinahan, a mother of six who uses a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury, joined in for the first time at the Cairns event. Seeing Carly enjoy the experience with the support of the xRover is a testament to the impact that accessible equipment can have.

Scott and Phil are passionate about seeing more people benefit from assistive technology like the xRover, whether at a Park Run or other outdoor events. Their message is clear: if running or outdoor adventure brings you joy, there are solutions to make it possible, and people ready to help. With the right equipment, everyone can live their best life - regardless of physical ability.
