International Day of People with Disability: 2008 ambassadors announced

Twenty one extraordinary individuals were chosen from the arts, sports and business fields to support the 2008 Don't DIS my ABILITY campaign. They will be attending various events across NSW and spread the word that people with a disability can do anything.

They are an interesting and diverse bunch, and include two people who have intellectual disabilities:
  • Michael Bartels, the Deputy Chairperson of the NSW Council for Intellectual Disability, and a cricket enthusiast
  • and our very own Ruth Cromer, actor, advocate, office worker
Click here to read about all of them, see their photos (there's a very stylish new one of Ruth), and for links to details of this year's events.

International Day of People with Disability is celebrated each year on 3rd December
