Seems to me that most things in our lives are a matter of attitude. Those who are more “glass half full” people can make a positive turn out of every situation - for example, not letting your wheelchair break your style.
Meet Isabel “Izzy” Keane, an Irish girl who was born with spina bifida and paralyzed from her waist down. In 2016, her sister Ailbhe felt inspired by Izzy’s bubbly personality and had the idea to create a range of colorful wheel covers for her chair. As they wrote on their website, "Izzy has always seen her wheelchair as a symbol of freedom but never felt it expressed her personality."
Nowadays, this great idea has turned into a full-blown business called Izzy Wheels, as the sisters carry on with their message of positivity and have even collaborated with Disney.
Ranging from flowers to cartoon characters, check out the Izzy Wheels covers below.

I really admire her positive attitude-- she's an inspiration to us all!
My favorite yet! I would actually get this if I had to be in a wheelchair.
Man, if I had the money, I'd totally get this one for my wheelchair!! It's so beautiful :O!!
THIS is spectacularly great and extremely cool and heartbreaking at the same time. RIGHT on for those two to do this. I always said if I ended up in a wheelchair I wanted it to look like a 59 Caddy. FIre Engine red. THESE wheel covers would be the cherry on top. Right on ladies.
Now these are some HOT WHEELS! Too bad the name is already taken. These are so colorful and happy. Such a great idea. I'd love to see what some of these wheels look like in action.
This is such a brilliant idea. Some of the designs are gorgeous, fun, and vibrant. I love how she also has wheel covers targeted at younger children with Hello Kitty, Barbie, and Marvel themes.
Love them. Whoever makes them needs to make some for adults. They are gonna be RICH baby!
I'd love to see them make some more "adult" designs too! I thought about getting some Izzy Wheels for my chair, but I couldn't settle on any of the designs because they were all so cute and colorful and I would've wanted something subtler for my day-to-day life. I'm so glad to see kiddos getting to enjoy their wheels with superheroes and Hello Kitty and Mickey Mouse, though!
