Two weeks, two Non-Profits and the greatest people! Thank you.

Wow – I have had the most wonderful two weeks of sharing Team Everest and other life adventures; and the tough challenges and tough choices we make in our life. This last trip, once again just proved to me that when we look beyond ourselves, amazing things will happen to benefit all people. And I feel so on top of the world with the folks that I met whilst visiting – I can honestly say that I feel really lucky right now and so, so inspired to continue advocating for all people, especially those with disabilities. And help ensure that people with disabilities may live, learn, work, play and participate fully in their community of choice.

Thank you to the West Virginia Advocates for inviting me to speak. And more importantly, for everything that you all do to protect and advocate for the human and legal rights of persons with disabilities.

Big thanks to The Gardner VNA - wonderful folks, great community involvement, strong networking and committed dedication to providing high quality, affordable health and social services to North Worcester County and Franklin County.

Thank you Latrice for the photo. My best - Gary
