Company description:
Walkabout Foundation is a fast growing international charity that focuses on funding research to find a cure for paralysis and donating wheelchairs to people in need around the world. Its huge success is partly due to its celebrity endorsements by individuals such as President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, actors Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Sean Penn, and Shakira among many others.
Walkabout Foundation was started by former Goldman Sachs banker, Carolina Gonzalez-Bunster, and her brother Luis who is paralyzed from the chest down after sustaining a spinal cord injury in a car accident. Together the siblings launched the foundation with an 870 kilometer trek across Spain along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela and Luis became the first person in the history of Spain to cross the entire country using just the strength of his two arms. Since inception, Walkabout Foundation has organized 3 such "walkabouts" in different places around the world and use the funds raised ($1 million in 2 years) to donate and distribute over 1,500 RoughRider wheelchairs to countries like Haiti, Dominican Republic, Chile, Rwanda and soon Malawi, Ghana, Kenya, and Argentina.
