This has been one rocky roadtrip already! I am so grateful to say, despite the ups and down, that we did it. The ‘Please Fund Us’ crowd sourced funding campaign reached its target today.

EEDR: The goodness of people
I wish someone had warned me that planning an Epic European Disability Roadtrip (EEDR) would be a journey in itself. I have dreamt of roadtripping across Europe forever.
