World Record Attempt on December 3rd at Eden Park to break the record for the Longest Moving Line of Wheelchairs We’re bringing this World Record back to Aotearoa! I.Lead and YES Disability, in collaboration with Permobil and Eden Park, will be hosting a World Record Attempt on December 3rd at Eden Park to break the record for the Longest Moving Line of Wheelchairs. So what do we need to do? The current record is held by India, with a continuous line of 400 moving wheelchairs. We think we can beat it! Our event will aim to bring 600 wheelchairs to Eden Park, where we will create the longest ever line of moving wheelchairs! All participants must form a continuous line, with each person positioned directly behind the other. Not a wheelchair user but still want to participate? No problem! We will have extra wheelchairs handy! Just register, come along, and hop on in. Deliberately aligned with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, this event will celebrate resilience, solidarity, and the strength of community. This year’s theme for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress. I.Lead believes this event will be the perfect opportunity to foster an inclusive community event, therefore advancing disability awareness and social progress in Aotearoa. Entry cost is $5 Support Persons enter for free!
