Join Freedom Trippers's Mission

We would like to extend a tremendous thank you for all of our supporters that are helping to make our mission of providing resources for people with disabilities to accomplish their dreams of travel come true!

Our original goal was $15,000 but our needs have grown along with the length of our trip.  We felt it to be a waste of a trip over to only experience the cruise portion as we had originally planned on. We wanted to add a land portion so we could have so much more information on traveling Greece with limited mobility issues in varying degrees. Our trip now consists of 14 days total… Seven days on the mainland and seven days on an island cruise. 

We have researched places of interest extensively and will be providing our own accounts of accessibility after each and every place.  We will also be checking into other avenues of transportation while we are on the mainland. This trip will truly give a complete and comprehensive guide to traveling Greece and its islands from the viewpoint of Gigi and her manual wheelchair and Galen in his power chair.

We still need your help funding our inaugural trip to Greece as well as with business costs, mobility equipment, merchandising start up, fundraising events and future expeditions.
