A Red Wing man is behind a device making chores easier for people with disabilities.
Michael Duncan is the creator of "Lend-A-Hand," a device he says can help people facing many types of challenges - from arthritis to carpal tunnel to cerebral palsy.
Cpl. Dan Stewart of Austin uses the Lend-A-Hand in his work at St. Edward's Catholic Church, where he's the parish maintenance man. Stewart, who was wounded by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2004, spent 32 days in a coma and suffered a stroke and a dozen seizures.
Stewart has come a long way since then, but he still needs a little help with some chores. That's where the Lend-A-Hand comes in, helping with activities like cooking, building and yard work at the parish.

Fishing Season for the Lend-A-Hand


It's that time of year once again! Spring is here and so is the fishing opener. I wanted to share some photos that show our customers are using Lend-A-Hand for fishing.

The first 2 images show Lend-A-Hand being used for fishing by rapping the Velcro straps around the calf of the leg (just below the knee cap). This gentlemen had a stroke and now can jig and set the hook with Lend-A-Hand on his leg. He just loves being able to fish again.

The last 2 pictures are showing how a paraplegic uses the longest strap (15”) first snaps it into the front hook, then wraps it around the reel of the fishing pole, then through the hook on the other side of Lend-A-Hand, then sticks the Velcro together. What a great way to get out and catch the big one.
