I'm not really sure where to something anymore. Maybe this is the right place.
Recently I had to travel through the Atlanta Airport. At my gate, I was there for the next flight, on the departing flight boarding was a guy in a wheel chair like me with wheel chair assist provided by the airport (I highly recommend, you have to tip them but it is worth it). He had a card/badge pinned or clipped to his jacket.
It was red about 3" by 5"inches with white letters at the top that said ALS. Ann was able to walk over as he boarding and look at it and below in smaller print was a designate of an ALS chapter. They put him on the flight first.
PS. Changing flights at Atlanta Airport. There was no way Ann could have pushed me in that wheel chair, handling the trolley from one Delta gate to the next.
You have to request wheel chair assist when you buy your tickets. It's worth it the tip each time.
Anywhooo... is anyone familiar with the ALS card thing?
