Excess all areas

This weekend I will be enjoying working with people who face extraordinary challenges in order to live ordinary lives.

They come up against barriers of all sorts which many of us either do not even see or which we can deal with and overcome easily. Indeed, our world is one which has been designed for the vast majority of us in such a way that it has the effect of excluding those who are equipped differently.

I am of course referring to Susan 'The Microphone' Davey and Gloria 'Small Car' Foran.

I never cease to marvel at how Ms Davey makes herself heard without the aid of a Led Zeppelin-sized PA system, and how Ms Foran gets herself from A to B in her sewing-machine powered micro-car.

I salute these two tireless workers and their unending fight for their own rights.


Fight on, sisters!
