Gita, a mobile-carrier that follows humans on the go, enabling them to move with ease and convenience while carrying up to 44 pounds, helped to lead the walk by following Best Buddies founder, Anthony Shriver. Carrying water and supplies to help keep the walkers fueled, Gita proudly rolled alongside participants to raise awareness and support inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Gita is designed to mimic the full range of human mobility and can follow anyone who walks, rolls, or scoots with a zero-degree turning radius. It has large wheels, like a bicycle, so it can operate on irregular surfaces, indoors and outdoors, on sidewalks and streets, and up and down ADA compliant ramps.

"It is incredibly inspirational to see so much enthusiasm for the Best Buddies mission of friendship and inclusion in South Florida, and to have Gita join the fun," said Anthony K. Shriver, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Best Buddies International. "Mobility solutions like Gita are yet another step in the right direction as we work to make the world a more inclusive place for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities."
