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…

If I could, I would join the closest march to me, which will be taking place in Lancaster, UK. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Genetic Haemochromatosis: both of which cause widespread joint pain and fatigue that, amongst other symptoms, make joining a physical march too debilitating. Americans with chronic conditions and disabilities like mine…

I am a disabled, bi-sexual, woman with epilepsy and a heart condition raising a boy with Hydrocephalus and epilepsy.
