I’m unable to participate in the march due to fibromyalgia and Crohn’s disease. I am sad that I won’t be there with everyone. Rock on nasty women!

Alayne Fenasci – The Brilliant Life
I am joining the disability march because I can’t be in Washington DC to join the physical march. I am currently disabled, and I only receive medical treatment because of the expanded Medicaid program. I refuse to be marginalized by my circumstances, and it is already a fight to be heard by medical professionals, society,…

Why I am marching: We are having a local march, but I cannot walk the distance they are traveling. I am hoping to get the chance to drive down to the end point, and participate at the rally. I am 65, and not permanently disabled, but am still struggling with mobility issues after having broken…

Why I am marching: I am joining the disability march to honor my son with multiple special needs and those of children like him. He has Autism and PANDAS. Many moms can’t Kling the Women’s March because they have to care for their kids and it’s hard to get coverage.

I so wanted to march, to feel like I could be part of a community working together to change in this most disturbing of times. I just couldn’t physically do it but was so happy to be able to participate in some way. Almost 5 years ago I became very sick – first with kidney failure,…
