I’m disabled, so I’m marching for myself. I’m also marching for my daughter, whose spine looks like mine. I’m marching for my grand-daughters who are so little yet.

Why I Am Joining The March : Though I live relatively close to DC and initially planned to participate in person, the reality that I’m physically not up to it set in all too quickly.
