As part of this year’s 5 Days of Caring, Motion was proud to surprise our long-time Calgary client Philip with the gift of a new Pride Mobility Colt scooter – an announcement that came at the perfect moment for someone who has become part of the Motion family.

Philip lives with a progressive disease that has made walking more than a few steps increasingly difficult. Over the years, his scooter has been his constant companion, enabling his independence, mobility, and the active lifestyle he enjoys in his community. Well-known in his neighborhood and beloved by our Calgary team, Philip brings positivity, energy, and countless stories every time he visits for repairs or support.

Recently, Philip shared with the team that he was hoping to purchase a new scooter but didn’t have the funds and might need to fundraise. With the amount of mileage he puts on his scooters, he knew a replacement would soon be necessary, but he had no idea that support was already on its way.

During 5 Days of Caring, Motion surprised Philip with a brand-new Pride Mobility Colt scooter. The gift reflects not only our commitment to making life accessible, but also our appreciation for clients like Philip – people who inspire us daily with their resilience, warmth, and trust – and our strong partnerships with equipment manufacturers like Pride Mobility.

For someone who often describes his scooter as his most prized possession and a source of freedom, this donation means more than mobility – it’s a celebration of the community he’s helped foster. And for our Calgary team, seeing Philip’s joy is what 5 Days of Caring is all about.
