Unstoppable despite rare bone disease, she champions equality - Monica's Story

“I’m not a superhero, I’m just a woman with a disability that has a great deal of perseverance and a desire to help my community live with dignity.”
Born with a rare bone disease, Monica Gartner has endured over 500 broken bones and the resulting trauma and rehabilitation. Despite discrimination, accidents and collapsed lungs, she persevered, completing her studies and gaining employment. She champions equality and support for people with disabilities through her writing, speaking and her own non-profit.
Monica Gärtner is the Medical recipient of the 2024 Courage To Come Back Awards
