Invacare® TDX® SP2 User, Ian Mackay Sets A Guinness World Record

YES, Ian MacKay CAN set new Guinness World Records!

 





On June 22nd, Ian Mackay set a Guinness World Record for the furthest distance traveled in 24 hours while using a Sip & Puff power wheelchair on Suavie Island, Oregon. Ian traveled 184.4 miles in only 23 ½ hours, breaking the previous record by 10 miles! Ian drove 15 times around a 12-mile loop on Sauvie Island- with few breaks and no sleep.
 
Ian’s determination and fortitude were key in achieving this monumental feat and we are so thrilled to have been able to be part of this Journey— Ian’s wheelchair is an Invacare® TDX® SP2 sporting the G-Trac™, DuraWatt™ motors, SureStep® suspension and stability lock, LED lighting, LiNX® Controls and Ultra Low Maxx seating.
