Regina Rikowski – That's how she rolls

29.04.2020

Many did not believe in her, but Regina Rikowski proved them wrong: In her first mega march in 2019, she did 40 kilometers in a row. In any case, she did not let her multiple sclerosis slow her down. Who she has to thank for this fighting spirit and how she rolls, she tells us on REHACARE.com.

You have the chance to become the Commissioner for the Disabled. What would you do first?
