Why we celebrate disability on the move

-To break down the barriers. -To get out into the community, to do things and have access. -To increase our visibility as people with disabilities. -To celebrate that people with disabilities can go places. -To celebrate that we are alive, breathing and can contribute to our communtiies. -To raise awareness. -To go wherever we want, whenever we want. -To grow and change as people with disabilities. -To stick together to be a loud and proud voice. -To celebrate as our lives change, we move forward, and people have the right to do the things they want. -To have freedom to go places in your mind and imagination, to run wild, to dream of a better world.
