Kevan Chandler has muscular dystrophy. He recently went from a prognosis of being permanently pinned to his wheelchair to traveling the world with his friends. What made this possible is a special backpack seat, allowing Kevan's friends to carry him on their backs.

'We Cary Kevan' is the NGO the group founded upon their return and they are developing the backpack concept and helping rethink the concept of accessibility.
