My daughter deserves a quality education her autism and severe anxiety do not define her she defines herself. I want her to be everything she is meant to be.

Although I live in DC, I have COPD which makes my breathing and my stamina too difficult to join the march. I am a COPD patient advocate who is also a former registered nurse and respiratory therapist. I will be home wearing my pink sweatshirt and red had and will be with you in spirit….

Why I’m joining the march: I’d love to join the actual march, but I can’t walk very well. I’m so grateful to this disability march I could cry.
