I choose to march so that if I ever lose my health insurance, I can still find someone to cover me, as I will very literally die without it. I also march for equality so that my girlfriend can never be told to leave my hospital room again. I march virtually because I have no immune system due to anti rejection drugs.

My name is Aries Stead, in March of 2016 I had a double lung transplant. To follow my story please go to Double Lung Transplant: Aries Stead on Facebook.
