The Ms. Wheelchair America Pageant
begins one week from today. I have been busy preparing for this and getting
very excited.
This past Wednesday, July 25, I joined the folks at the Spaulding
Riders Club. They ride adapted cycles peddling either by hand or by foot along
the Cape Cod Canal which is a beautiful 7 mile bicycle path. Riders ride
for as long or short as they wish. There are people there to assist them and to
be the with them along the way in case they need assistance. I took pictures
with a couple of the members there and walked down the path for a little bit.
Thursday, July 26 was the
22nd anniversary of the Americans with Disability Act being officially signed
into law. There were celebrations throughout our nation. I attended the city of
Boston Boston Boston Boston
One of the members of the Boston
Commission of Persons with Disabilities who has been such a great advocate is
John Kelly. Mayor Menino made a proclamation that from now on July 26 will be
known as John B Kelly Day. There was also a ribbon-cutting for the new
accessible path on City Hall Plaza
You can see more photos of
both of these events on my Facebook fan page:

For those involved with
pageant week I am very appreciative of your hard work. The best advice I can
give you is what I'm trying to do myself, and that is BREATHE!
