We are going to ZOOM together

Let's go ZOOM together!

As the pandemic rages on, we have decided to step it up and show up for each other even more than we already do. Grow this Alinker Family where people around the globe feel seen and heard, something we all long for.

Let's connect and get to know each other!

Since the first lock down we have hosted many lives on Instagram and we host the integrated crowdfunding platform that so far has completed 156 campaigns! We are very active with the Alinker Family on social media, and we send out these newsletters. We have Alinker users on our staff to support the campaigners and do all the customer service, we participate in events and achievements, and we like to engage with you even more.

Offer you a platform of people who identify like you, active people who happen to have mobility challenges. We have a body, but are humans who just want to be happy. So let's enjoy each other, learn, grow, do stuff we never thought was possible anymore! We are all inclusive and diverse as you get it as long as we respect each other and are anchored in kindness. We can build the world for us and by us. Will you join us?

You have questions about the Alinker, use, maintenance. You have interests that you might want to put forward and hear about. You might like to share your experiences or hear about the Alinker Family farm and why, or hear from BE about her reverse design practices. We're here and we like to hear from you. Email me

So... we are going to ZOOM together

We are inviting you to regular Alinker Zoom webinars, we start with once a month, and based on your feedback we might do it more often, also for different time zones.
You can come and listen, or ask questions, or share. The seminars are for Alinker users and family and friends, people who are interested can join, and for everybody who dreams of a world that is accessible and just for all.

Mark your calendars, because the first ZOOMAlinker webinar is on:

Wednesday 10th February
9-10am PST (12pm EST, 6pm CET)

Make sure you download zoom on your computer.
I will share the SIGN UP link in another newsletter this coming week with more instructions on how to attend and the what you can expect from this very first ZOOMAlinker seminar

In the meantime let me know what you like to hear, learn, share, suggest, dream about. Email me!

Being together, showing up for each other, having fun and doing things we never thought were possible anymore. Brandon is an Alinker user and is on our Alinker team. He took this photograph of Carlo in his hour full-speed Alinkering and the Bernie meme and went with it. Enjoy and let's see how many people on the stands you recognize.

Carlo Calcagni Alinkers 16.47Km in one hour!

His story is one of shock and pain, but his perseverance and determination are anchored in love and what we can do together.

During the Balkan war, Colonel Carlo, was exposed to breathing heavy metals, which caused irreversible neurological damage. He fought hard to find ways to stay alive, and when he found Breakspear hospital he finally found people who were able to work with him and find treatments. If you like to see more of his story: LINK. He has won gold medals road cycling, is a gold Paralympian and won gold at the Invictus Games. Then he found the Alinker, discovered he can run again and did an hour full speed to end with 16.47Km!

So Carlo is this unbelievable top athlete who can push himself over limits thought impossible, but what really makes him feel alive is something very different than getting medals.

In our western world, we celebrate athletes but do not apply the same rules to ourselves. Our society has taught us, trained us to value comfort and to look for comfort, we even eat comfort food which is subsidized! But...comfort kills us!

Our bodies only grow in capacity, when we push our limits, we grow our muscles, we activate our brain, we increase our balance and flexibility, our strength and endurance. Only when we push ourselves through discomfort we grow.

Alinker users understand this all too well, and we will talk about this in our first ZOOM seminar.
