Why Joining:
Combo of car accident, arthritis, and fibromyalgia put this march beyond my endurance… even though DC is just across the river.
I march virtually for my nieces and nephew, who deserve healthcare, jobs, and a nation that values and respects all citizens, regardless of physical or mental health, good luck or bad luck, rich or poor.
I march virtually for relatives hit with illness young, who never had the chance to live the kind of rich and varied life I have had, despite being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and living with chronic pain since I was 29.
I march virtually for the right to keep paying for insurance (currently $1,200 a month + deductibles + co-pays) despite pre-existing conditions beyond my control.
I march virtually for everyone who does not realize that an accident or a disease can strike ANYONE – even you – and change your life in an instant.
