STOP #8: Lack of Adult Changing Tables in Public Spaces

“Dino loves to go out anywhere in the community and our daughter, Ella, wants to go and do things and planning those trips is really challenging.
When Dino was younger he wasn’t stable medically so it was hard to go out and do things, but then as he is stable and healthy then we realized we want to go out, but if we are going to be at the aquarium for 5 hours, we have nowhere to change him.
This is proving to be one of the biggest hurdles for us to try and enjoy our lives together as a family.”
STOP #8: Lack of Adult Changing Tables in Public Spaces
Jackie and Anthony share their story with their 9 year old son, Dino, and the challenges they are facing as a family now trying to go out and do things in public with the lack of accessibility for adult sized changing tables.
They share the impact it also has on Dino’s sister, Ella, and how they have to pre-plan even the smallest trips - even to the grocery store.
The impact that this lack of accessibility has goes far beyond just their family. It impacts families everywhere and their ability to access places they’d love to go as a family and that’s why it’s Stop #8 in our 100 mile run for our 2024 Run To Breakthrough.
This is something many don’t think about until you’re in their shoes. Bringing more awareness to this challenge can help bring about meaningful change.
Just 84 days until we conquer 100 miles across Long Island racing for inclusion!
