Lift off!

Well, it's all go here at MERU getting ready for the TravelChair launch tomorrow.

For those that don't know the MERU TravelChair is designed to allow children with disabilities be able to fly on a standard aircraft. It was originally designed about 12 years ago by Graham, one of the engineers at MERU.

Recently Graham has created a new TravelChair that offers firm postural support for disabled children between the ages of 3 and 11 (depending on the weight and height of the child). It has been developed with advice from the European Aviation Safety Agency, the Civil Aviation Authority, several key airlines and parents with disabled children to ensure all needs are met.

Tomorrow we officially launch the TravelChair and we are all very excited. 

I'll be there to let you know what happens!

Time flies...

Eep, just noticed I haven't been on here for a bit - apologies! 


Things are busy here at MERU. We've been interviewing for our new student placements and have a couple of excellent students lined up for next year. We are in the process of selecting students for our 10 week summer placement.


Work for the TravelChair launch is ongoing. More on that later :)


So, I'd best get back to fundraising. I'll try and keep you all posted more often!
