I thought that I would write and ask anyone if they have any free time in
the month of August to do an awareness fair? I have contacted Morning side,
Keytime, Olybikes, Shiners, DVR and Colligo, so far. But are there any
others that would be great for an awareness fair?
I contacted Olybikes because they adjusted my mountain bike, making it to
where everything (Brakes, gears, etc) is on the right side. I am only one
sided, due to a stroke I received when I was a infant.
I, myself am doing a booth and having individuals try to do something's one
handed, such as blowing up a balloon and tying it one handed or tying shoes
one handed, putting on diapers one handed... etc.
What we want to do is heighten the awareness and show that disabled people
are able to work with the right tools.
I use the Right hand Dvorak keyboard and do just great. I learned the
keyboarding through Keytime and thought that it would be great to have them
come.
Please, if any of you would like to be a part of our fair please contact me.
Below is my contact information. thank you!
