Always proud to march with PWDA and represent queer disabled people at MidSumma Pride March.

Oh, and in very welcome news, I was advised by a member of the MidSumma organising committee today, that my feedback from last year was directly responsible for the implementation of several new changes to disability access at this years event. This included making the accessible drop off point much closer, adding an accessible pick up location, marshals to direct people in wheelchairs to curb cutouts at the end of the march, and chairs being made available for disabled people to sit on in Catani Gardens. They also noted additional feedback today to consider for next year's march!

Winning :)
