New York City Disability Pride Parade Set to Run July 12, Mike LeDonne Holds Fundraiser at (L)PR Jan. 8
New York City is known as a cultural stomping ground for those of any stripe — or rainbow — but a new festival is set to take place a month after next year's Gay Pride festival in July: the Disability Pride NYC Parade.Perhaps the driving force behind the march is a bit unusual but, according to "The New York Times," jazz pianist Mike LeDonne has a firsthand experience with disability in his home as his daughter, Mary, suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome.PWS, according to the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association, is a genetic disorder that affects appetite, growth, metabolism, cognitive function and behavior. The disorder also causes blindness and requires Mary to use a wheelchair some of the time.
