The Disabled but Not Really Foundation

This is amazing, you can do anything #disabledbutnotreally #dbnrkc Regrann from @branzoid - As many of you know it has been VERY difficult to find a #boxing #gym in #YEG that is #inclusive and welcomes me and my #wheelchair
Lots of people find it hard to believe that in 2018 people are still judgemental and not welcoming, but as someone who has been paralyzed for the last 6 years I can tell you IT'S REAL!
#Edmonton has a looooong way to go before we can call ourselves inclusive and think of EVERYONE as #EQUALS
The #yoga and #boxing communities have told me numerous times that they "can't accommodate me or my wheelchair." This is #BULLSHIT
No one will stop me from doing what I want to do.
No one will tell me I "CAN'T"
No one will successfully segregate me from the able-body community, but I'll give you props for trying.
It's YOUR #attitude that creates #barriers and #segregation
If you can look past the wheelchair, #crutches, #braces, #walkers, etc. You'll see the true human spirit.
I'd like to give a huge shout out to Jorge @second__shot for being open to training me and to @ufcgymnedmonton for opening their doors and treating me like a "normal" person who wants to #exercise and get some #cardio
It's time to look deep inside, face your inner demons and STOP JUDGING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT!!!!!! - #regrann ... See MoreSee Less
