About Wheels of Fire:
Aerelle is a two time High School All-American wheelchair racer and Move United Elite Team member. Raymond is her coach and her dad. We started learning through Youtube videos and other content online and figuring it out as we went along. Eventually, we got the opportunity to talk to other wheelchair racers and coaches. Now several years down the road, we want to pass on the information we wish had been on online when we got started. If you ever have any questions, please use the email in the about section of our channel.
