Answer 2

I participated in a walkathon in my wheelchair for a cause that was important to me. It was great.



I think your friend would be glad to be invited.

Answer 3

Is it something he can watch on the sidelines with others? Does the walk marathon actually allow disabled supporter to wheel through it?



If any of this is possible than yeah invite him.

Answer 4

Invite him. I have seen this before and it is an inspiration. It would be a simple matter for him to say he did not feel like it, if he did not want to go.

Good idea!

Answer 5

Not sure of all your and his situation,but perhaps he would only too glad to accompany you in a wheelchair ,he may welcome the chance,at least being given the chance.

Answer 6

You could invite him and tell him if he doesn't feel comfortable doing it then it wouldn't be a problem. I'm sure he would love to help out the cause, but if he doesn't feel comfortable I'm sure he would find a way to tell you. I don't think it would be offensive to give him an invitation at all.

Answer 7

I think that a generous and caring offer. I mean he can fight to find a cause and feel proud rather than stay home wonder what he could of done and feeling sad. He still has a chance to help.

Answer 8

I don't think it's inappropriate at all. I am a wheelchair user, and while I wouldn't be able to push myself through a charity walk without assistance, I'd be happy to try. Before I became disabled, I remember seeing wheelchair users participating in things like this quite often.

As far as not wanting to make him feel obligated to go, you could always mail (or email) him the info with a note saying that you'd love for him to make it out to the Walk if he's able to. That way he doesnt have to answer you on the spot.

I wish you the best of luck with your fundraiser walk!

Answer 9

i see you point but your motives are good and i cant see why they'd react badly. you could always give them a pamphlet on it or something and let him know you'd be there to accompany him :)

good on ya and good luck

Answer 10

I dont think it would be inappropriate at all. I would just explain exactly what you just wrote, to him. I think he would realize that it would be kind of arkward for you to figure out a way to invite him considering.....but if you just say hey I know this might mean alot to you and it maybe something you want to particapate in.

Also give him that chance to back down and not to go. You can say something like I know your sister passed away recently so Ill understand if it would be too upsetting to go. Also dont push for an answer right then and there. Give him a phone number or an email to respond to you about it, or just give him the info that he would need to attend. If he seems uncomfortable when you mention it Id give him the email, so that way if he doesnt want to go, I think it would be easier for him to email that response to you.

I also dont think that he would want to be left out because of his 'condition' either and that he would appreciate the offer even if he decides not to go.

Good Luck!
