In promoting The Graceful Art of Falling I have become much more aware of how many individuals are raising awareness about muscle disorders and disabilities. I am so impressed with all that is out there and believe that we truly can make a difference.
"When American Girl announced this week that its 2014 Girl of the Year doll was a blond ballet dancer named Isabelle,
at least one avid fan was crestfallen: 10-year-old Melissa Shang of
Pennsylvania. And so Melissa, who has muscular dystrophy, did something
about it: She launched a Change.org petition
asking Mattel (which owns American Girl) to create a doll with a
disability. The online petition has picked up 15,000 signatures in less
than a week."
