NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Permobil Foundation partnered with the Chicago White Sox, LiveLikeLou and Phi Delta Theta to surprise Michelle Gutierrez with her own team-branded, custom Permobil power wheelchair at a June 26 home game. “We understand that Michelle received her ALS diagnosis just last year after already surviving Stage 3 ovarian cancer,” says Kathy Edson, associate executive director of the Foundation. “Her courage and positivity have been inspiring to those around her and we are so pleased to surprise this lifelong fan with a new Permobil M3 Corpus wheelchair with the custom White Sox colors and logo.” The donation was part of “Lou Gehrig Day” celebrations, during which Major League Baseball honors the late Lou Gehrig, the legendary Yankees player whose career was cut short by ALS. The Permobil Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life by empowering strength and independence through support and services, so individuals can live a life without limitations. Permobil also fast tracks every ALS chair order through production to ensure each ALS patient gets their custom Permobil wheelchair without any delay.
