MY NEWEST CHALLENGE. ( Guest author)

  •  Hello good people, I hope you enjoy reading this piece from an amazing lady who despite living with muscular dystrophy is a challenge and inspiration to many.



     I am writing this article to raise awareness and I would appreciate it if it is widely shared pls.
    The latest Challenge I have been facing is on Airlines. Traveling a few years ago and now is not the same. The airlines seems a lot more strict and unaccommodating. I am genuinely physically challenged and that seems to make traveling a lot more challenging.
    I recently wanted to travel by flight to South Coast and avoid the 10hour journey by car. The airlines said due to narrow climbing space on flights a physically challenged person who requires minimum help can travel easily.
    In their words " The only caution is that customers must be able to ascend and descend stairs with minimum help. Our aircraft doors are narrow and cannot take high loaders."
    This made me ask the question "what facilities have been arranged for people like myself.?" It is quite obvious because I cannot walk at all I do need a lot of help ascending and descending stairs. Does this mean I cannot travel on airlines?
    Physically challenged people like myself find long journeys very tiresome. It is for this reason we ask for the airline option which takes fewer hours.
    It is my great hope that in future they will have accommodative measures for people like myself and safety measures to go with it to make traveling smoother.
