We’re proud to be part of this year’s Walk & Roll KC—raising funds for Spina Bifida Kansas City (SBKC), a nonprofit that has supported our family in ways that truly matter.

SBKC provides:

✅ Medical reimbursements that ease the financial strain of ongoing care

✅ Social events that help families connect, celebrate, and feel less alone

✅ Resources and support that empower parents and kids to thrive

For families like ours, this isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a lifeline.

OUR STORY

Me and my husband Miguel, have been married for 10 years and are both wheelchair mobile, but that does not stop us from being independent.

We are home & car owners. It took some time to figure out but we made it happen with hard work, persistence, and thanks to the support of our community.

We constantly have to remind each other that the hardest part of being independent is remembering that "being independent doesn't mean to be alone." The best part is that being independent breaks the rules of what we are taught that a person with a disability is supposed to be."

Thank you for walking and rolling with us—and for standing beside families like ours.
