Hi everyone Leah here with "Ability Magazine" and tonight we are at the Global Mobility Galla.
-
and joining us is the beautiful, Jane Seymour. Can you please tell us what brought you here tonight?
-
Well, I heard about Global Mobility through Drew Barkett and I met David and Drew
-
and I was just so incredibly impressed with what they were doing and saw videos of what they were doing
-
and we talked at length and we did a lot of research into what they were doing
-
and I just felt that with our Open Hearts Foundation that we wanted to honor them for what they were doing.
-
We felt that they were opening their hearts and helping countless people globally.
-
and it's just, so astounding to see how many people are affected by one wheel chair.
-
One wheelchair changes whole villages, changes whole families
-
for someone to be able to get around and I just thought it was fantastic, especially in the fact that it is global too.
-
So we are honoring them with the Open Hearts Foundation Award, on October 21st
-
here in Los Angeles and we are very excited about that, we also have two other honorees that evening
-
so the great part about that is we have people who know about global mobility and people who have never heard of it
-
which is what is most important, it's to really build it up
-
and let people know what an amazing organization this is.
-
Well said and thank you for being here tonight and making yourself available
-
for these wonderful events that we see you so frequently at.
-
Well as you know I have been a huge fan of Ability Magazine
-
And I have so many friends who live in chairs,
-
I don't know how to say it appropriately, but
-
my home in Malibu is completely wheel chair accessible
-
and I did that in honor of Christopher Reeve
-
who is my friend, and all the countless friends I have made through him since.
-
One of the things I love is that I have a home that actually thinks about everyone's mobility, the ability to get everywhere.
-
And we love that!
-
Yes, I think it should happen everywhere. That's a fact.
-
Well thank you, thank you for spending time with us,
-
and I hope you have a wonderful time tonight.
