100,000
WHEELCHAIRS
DID YOU KNOW THAT JONI AND FRIENDS
DELIVERED THEIR 100,000TH WHEELCHAIR?!
This summer, we delivered this special wheelchair to
a young boy in GHANA.
The average length of a wheelchair is about
42 inches or 3 1/2 feet from the back of the
wheels to the footrest.
100,000 IS A LOT OF WHEELCHAIRS!
Can you imagine how many football fields it
would take to line up 100,000 wheelchairs?
Can you believe that we would need about
970 football fields?!
Get out your calculators boys and girls and try this!
If one wheelchair is 42 inches long, and there are
63,360 inches in one mile, DRUMROLL PLEASE…
How many miles would it take for us to line up 100,000
wheelchairs? Can you figure it out? Write to us at Kids’
Corner if you know the answer.
