Disability March

Dr. MJ Hardma & Dr. Dimas Bautista Iturrizaga

We both have multiple frailties. My husband has lost most of his hearing and his balance; fall risk is extreme. I need oxygen most of the time, inter alia. We are joining because we both deeply believe that women are people too. His mother, within the Jaqaru culture (Perú), first taught me what lack of…

My name is Quinn. My photo represents a huge milestone for me. It shows that even though it took me longer than most, and it was a struggle, I had finally reached a point in my illness where it only controls me most of the time and I had recovered hugely (though never completely) from…
