Disabled Animal Lover Continues Work

Despite living with severe Osteoporosis and walking difficulties, Cliff Quinn, 54 from Cambridge, has been able to remain independent and continue his voluntary animal rescue work, thanks to a funky TGA mobility scooter.

 

Cliff was forced to take early retirement from his car rental career due to ill health. Despite his job involving long hours, giving up his career was tough for Cliff, however losing his independence and ability to stand was even harder. Cliff’s Osteoporosis means his walking capabilities are severely restricted and standing is impossible. This condition affects his bones, causing them to be fragile and more likely to fracture, therefore Cliff has to be extremely careful when moving around indoors or out.

Without the ability to access the outdoors independently, Cliff was determined to discover driving freedom again so spent two years researching the best mobility scooter for trusted performance. With the help of Motability, he was able to take ownership of his ideal scooter – an 8mph, metallic blue TGA Vita with dynamic styling. The scooter has improved changed Cliff’s lifestyle by providing independence outdoors and generating a positive attitude to everyday living. His renewed zest for life has encouraged Cliff to join the Cambridge Blue Cross animal rescue centre as a volunteer driver.

Cliff said “Day-to-day it is a real life-line, I can drive it around the local supermarket and even managed to get £200’s worth of shopping in my rear basket the other day!”
