Dear Olympians:

During the Rio 2016 Paralympic games, on most days I tweeted which day it was of the games with the following message: Dear #Paralympics, you are our Olympians, we give you our heart! :)

From the years 2012 - 2014 I joined a committee called Access York, through York University, Toronto. My time here was of great value. I enjoyed sharing my ideas to improve access for persons with physical and invisible (dis) abilities. These could range from students being deaf, blind, wheel chair access, to mental / mind health challenges or learning impairments.  This experience strengthed my thoughts, with regards to persons who require access:

We are all human beings, we just need a little bit more support and accommodating, that's all. Watching the Paralympics has really shown and proven that anyone can reach a goal.

Dear #Paralympics you are our Olympians we give you our heart! :)

Dedicated to all of the athletes and to the Iranian cyclist who tragically passed away on September 17th 2016. We honor you.
