Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard If you’ve ever considered getting a DryRobe Adaptive let this be your sign. It’s so warm and keeps me totally dry. Yes it’s a bit of a faf to get on and off but well worth it. ☔️ Have you got one?? (2 weeks ago)

Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard I asked my family & friends what they thought I would be when I grew up. And I was a little surprised. What did you always want to be when you grew up? Are you doing that career now? I always wanted to be a TV presenter. There is still time, and in a way, what I do online is kinda like that, but even better as I’ve built this wonderful community. If you’re new around here I’m Gem & at the age of 9 I sustained a Spinal cord injury that left me using a wheelchair. I went from an incredibly active, theatrical, sporty, dancing horse rider, to using a wheelchair. Growing up it was incredibly hard, but the one thing that still brought me joy was horse riding. I started riding again at my local Riding for Disabled centre, and never looked back. If you are struggling in the early days post injury, I see you. I know how dark it is. Finding something that can spark joy in you again can really help. Whether thats adapting to something you loved before your injury, or finding something new. Give it time, and be kind to yourself. It’s probably not the life you would have chosen, nor is it the life you wanted. However there is joy still to be found. Hit follow, as this month is Spinal cord injury awareness month, and I’ll be sharing more stories, and photos of me post injury to highlight SCIAwarenss. Why not follow me on Instagram too? #SpinalCordInjury #Paraplegic #Disabled #SpinalcordInjuryAwarenssMonth (4 months ago)
 
 
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard ✨ Welcome to WheelsNoHeels ✨ I thought it was about time I introduced myself properly for all of you who are new here (and for the OGs who’ve been rolling with me for a while 💜). This page is my little corner of the internet where I share tips and tricks for wheelchair users old and new., Accessible travel, and mobility aid reviews. Im also very passionate about disability rights, and activism. My mission? To show that life on wheels doesn’t mean less style, less adventure, or less joy. I believe in breaking stereotypes, celebrating differences, and finding community through honesty, laughter, and creativity. But beyond that, I’m just Gem —a human who loves fashion, food, and fun days out with my family. I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you came for inspo, solidarity, or just curiosity—you’re welcome in this space. 💌 So stick around for stories, laughs, and some real talk. And if we haven’t met yet—drop a “👋” in the comments so I can say hi back, and give me some fun facts. Here’s to rolling forward, together. 💎♿️ #WheelsNoHeels #DisabilityRepresentation #AccessibilityMatters #AboutMe (5 months ago)

"To prove you can ride a bike around the block, you need to do the Tour de France."

That's like telling a blind person to open their eyes and see.
MakailaMcDaniel (8 years ago)
Oh yeah, they'd be sued if they were here in America. Most of the time they even let you ride most rided, even if you can't walk at all.

So as someone from America I can confirm if this happen in the US you would have been on 5pm news and definitely would have been able to sue for discrimination

Omg is rude it’s like telling a blind person to open their eyes or yelling at a deaf person to listen or even telling a mute person to talk ppl these days never understand
Angelwitch99 (8 years ago)
They would get sued so hard if they we're in America. That is not ok, the way they treated you. Disabled people should not be forced to prove they can walk every time they want to go on a ride.

You should write a letter to the corporate office. I’m sure they’ve heard it all before but they need to keep hearing it!

I have the ability to move my legs, but I pretty much have no strength in them. People think that you can walk if your legs will move, but I will collapse. I've had so many people tell me to walk. Like I can't, that's why I'm in a wheelchair.

I am really shocked by this. Like, you're in a wheelchair for a reason. You should be able to enjoy days out to theme parks etc. instead of crying yourself to sleep because of them...

Does the UK not have something similar to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)? That theme park doesn't just seem actionable, it seems like its being actively aggressive toward people with disabilities.
jasminefrench1223 (8 years ago)
Do they advertise it as accessible? They should just stop that like honestly what's the point in that? At least if they are honest about it people can make well informed decisions - that might help people in the future kinda thing at least

Sue them I’m so sorry for inconvenience.
Leahintrigued (8 years ago)
That's horrible. I usually have that problem when I use my chair. Since I don't always need my chair when I do need it people act like I am faking it. Or if I am in the chair and I stand up for just a second they don't understand. I live in America and I had a bus driver get cross with me because I needed my chair. He seriously asked me why I couldn't just leave it because of the trouble it was causing him to load me with a lift the bus had specifically for people with wheelchairs.

Chessington is known to be a bad and problem theme park, there are many things wrong with the park, not just the accessibility, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with them
ABlindMoose (8 years ago)
But... But WHY do have to prove you can walk? Are you not allowed to ride if you can't walk? If so, HOW is it the host's job to check? I'm not an expert on the subject (especially not in the UK), but I've worked at an amusement Park, as a "host" at one of the roller coasters, and I'm just lost for words at how they treated you. It's not even remotely ok.
