Since I no longer have the physical stamina to march in DC as I would like to do, (and as I did in past decades), I want to march virtually, to support Women’s Rights as Human Rights, for the sake of my daughters and all those others whose human rights seem likely to be threatened…

Why am I joining the march? I am currently in the hospital after having surgery to place a feeding tube to avoid malnutrition and get me healthy enough to have a spinal fusion. I have ehlers danlos syndrome, gastropariesis, cervical instability, and dysautonomia. I use a wheelchair, I have a port, and now a feeding…

I’m joining the Disability March because physical and financial constraints block my participation. I’m a disabled Vietnam era veteran, mom of three, cancer survivor recovering from an old broken back injury and recent hip replacement. Due to my macular degeneration, without the invaluable eye shot regiment provided by the V.A., I would’ve been blind in…
