When we travel, we typically have bags, tools for workshops, BOOKS!, wheelchair (or more than one), ramps, and sometimes Bear rides in Barton’s lap!
We’ve survived week 3 of the National Mobility Awareness Campaign coming up just shy of 3,500 votes! You can vote here!
We think we’re hanging on to the 5% by the skin of our teeth! What we’ve found is there are many people with a handful of votes & a number of others with a boatload of votes (5-9,000).
So what have we been up to this last week? Well, we wanted to show how we go on the road- Barton and Megan style, of course.
There are times when Megan just can’t fit it all in!
We travel- a lot! It’s part of our vision to help other families and individuals, with and without disabilities become more independent, overcome obstacles and find joy and passion in their lives. So inevitably, we spend a lot of time on the road.
This last week, Megan drove 4+ hours every day, in the broken down Honda, praying that it would keep running. We were also so thankful that our local Van Products sponsored travel to a workshop “Staying Safe in Your Community” to youth in Charlotte this week!
Our hope is to expand our speaking throughout the US (and we hope even beyond), over the next two years. Having an accessible van is a vital tool in this goal as it will allow Barton access to increase independence and the ability to speak, teach and lad with more freedom and flexibility.
Hang in there with us and keep voting- we have just over one more month to go, and the more votes we have, the higher our chances are of continuing to the next round.
