Disabled Quote by Tanni Grey-Thompson

“As a disabled person I have to think and plan far more than anyone else. If I want to catch a bus I have to consider whether the ramp works, whether there will be someone in the one space who doesn't want to move. It can be a constant worry.” quote by Tanni Grey-Thompson
