Arthur Kassell's vision of helping people who are disabled by illness was ignited because of his wife, Tichi Wilkerson-Kassel, who was affected by Parkinson disease. The equipment that has been developed helped Tichi everyday by moving her arms and legs. It not only changed her life, but improved her quality of life as well. The benefits of the Flexiciser? continue to extend worldwide and help the mobility challenged. It is a true honor to be in partnership with the Ms. Wheelchair America Organization and a sponsor of this years pageant.

The mission of Ms. Wheelchair America is to provide an opportunity of achievement for women who happen to be wheelchair users to be an advocate on behalf of more than 52 million Americans living with disabilities and effectively educate and promote the benefits of movement therapy for them. Unlike traditional beauty pageants, Ms. Wheelchair America is not a contest to select the most attractive individual. It is instead a competition based on advocacy, achievement, communication and presentation to select the most accomplished and articulate spokeswoman for persons with disabilities. The selected representative must be able to communicate both the needs and the accomplishments of her constituency to the general public, business community, health care industry, and the legislature.
Alexander McArthur is the reigning Ms. Wheelchair America 2011, and previously served as Ms. Wheelchair North Carolina 2010. A native of North Carolina, Alexandra McArthur was born in 1987. Her 22 years of life have offered her challenges and triumphs. As a child growing up in rural North Carolina, Alexandra used her imagination to entertain herself and her family. She spent her days partially clothed, running around the farm creating make-believe games. In second grade, her sister, Park, was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. Soon after, Alexandra was also diagnosed. As her family struggled with the news, Alexandra only felt excitement. At the age of seven, she relished the idea that it made her more like her older sister. Her disease and resulting disability has shaped Alexandra's life in many ways, but she believes it has made her more mature, adaptable, adept at engaging with others, and appreciative of every day. Dealing with her disability and how others have responded to it has put Alexandra in a position to relate to others and problems in a unique way. Alex has been forced to embrace physical awkwardness, take pleasure in breaking stereotypes, and make the most of every moment. Alex resides in Charlotte, North Carolina and is employed at Davidson College as the Fellow for Leadership Development. She graduated Cum Laude from Davidson College with a Bachelor of Arts in History. Alex enjoys meeting new people, reading, planning parties, wine tasting, and working towards inclusion for people with disabilities. She is thrilled to be at the Ms. Wheelchair America 2012 contests to share with the other her experiences this past year. She accomplished and overcame many experiences this year to advocate, inspire, challenge, and share her platform of the importance of employment for people with disabilities to promote inclusion.
