AS an "activist" with cerebral palsy, my passion is to empower others and myself to give voice toward issues of aging with and into disability. Although retired and living in a seniors community, my vision focusses on persons who are aging with disabilities and remaining lively in their community. I accept aging as a continuum of time required to embrace transitions for becoming more resourceful and more interdependent as a means of achieving a fully engaged life.
