The tracker gives me the freedom to visit people and live my life as I want to live it
Mrs McNeil, Footprint user
Rita McNeil has been using our Footprint product for over two years as a way to combat her asthma.
“I’m an asthma sufferer and never know when an attack can happen, so the tracker gives me the freedom to go out visiting and live my life as I want to live it, knowing that I can always be found if I get into difficulty. It makes me feel safe.
“I first used the Footprint tracker when I was outdoors walking in the countryside with a neighbour who uses a mobility scooter. We were in the middle of nowhere and she became stranded, but using the tracker we were able to raise the alarm and get people out to come to our aid.
"Before I had the tracker I didn’t feel confident about going out but now I am more confident. I am not isolated with this.”
