"Celebrating my Alive Day helps me bring joy to this day. My family, friends, and caregivers (nurses, therapists, PCAs/CNAs, and doctors) were there for me on the day of my accident and continue to be with me now. It is so wonderful to gather with many of them on this day to celebrate the Gift of Life. This celebration reminds me of the beauty and joy that life offers." - Rex A.W. Marco, M.D., Chief Medical Ambassador, Reeve Foundation

Why is #DigitalAccessibility important? Because there are 64 million Americans living with disabilities, and we are living in a digital age. Not considering and prioritizing things such as closed captions and alt-text means that certain users will not be able to access online spaces.
Ms. Wheelchair America 2024 Chandra Smith joined Ariana Aboulafia, the Policy Counsel for Disability Rights in Technology Policy at the Center for Democracy & Technology, and Henry Claypool, the Technology Policy Consultant for the American Association for People with Disabilities, in presenting on disability and technology at #ReeveSummit2024.
Chandra is an IT engineer and 508 compliance officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency. Her Ms. Wheelchair America, Inc. 2024 platform focuses on digital accessibility. As Chandra says, “We need to create an environment that serves everyone.”
Video: Chandra Smith, a black woman in a power wheelchair, discusses the importance of digital accessibility. She is wearing a white “Ms. Wheelchair America 2024” sash and a crown.

“Art is so important because it gives us an outlet to express ourselves. It gives us a reason and a mode for our emotions. Art is very healing, and it’s helped me become the person I am today.”
Celebrate #DisabilityPrideMonth with Kemi Yemi-Ese, an artist and therapist living with paralysis. Kemi was a featured presenter at #ReeveSummit2024, where she shared adaptive art techniques such as using special grips to hold oil pastels or paintbrushes.
Looking for a way to create art with limited mobility? Try this: Use tape to attach your medium (such as an oil pastel or paintbrush) to a longer paintbrush or stick. Adjust thickness by adding more sticks or foam. Follow @kemisart for more adaptive art techniques!
Video: Kemi Yemi-Ese, a black woman in a power wheelchair, discusses adaptive art and its importance. She is sitting behind a table covered with various art supplies. Her sketchbook is in front of her.

"As a coach, Mark was a source of wisdom, encouragement, and levity. He always had a plan, a pep talk, and a joke ready for anyone lucky enough to come under his tutelage. Coach Mark motivated, inspired, and believed in everyone. He was the best of us. Team Reeve and the broader running community have lost a giant. We mourn his passing but celebrate his life. We will miss Coach Mark forever, but never forget him." - Will Reeve, Board of Directors, Reeve Foundation and Team Reeve Athlete
