Hi I'm Grace!

I have Spina Bifida and have been physically disabled since birth. The past 17 years have been filled with overcoming obstacles, advocating for myself, and most importantly joy! I am just like any other high-schooler I love going to football games, hanging out with friends, and wheelchair racing. I am on my high school's Track and Field team.

 

One thing that I learned from an early age is never to accept "no" or "can't" for an answer. I have been blessed with lots of support from family and friends role models in my life who have helped pave the path for me.

​

In middle school and going into high school I felt very alone regarding my disability I felt like I was one of very few going through it. It was getting involved in adaptive sports that showed me that I am not alone. 

​

The matter of truth is that disability can be a very scary and isolating thing but can also be so beautiful. My hope for this blog is for someone with a disability or a parent/caregiver of someone with a disability to see this and realize all the opportunities and how wonderful life can be even though you are living with a disability and show people that they are never alone in their struggles.
