International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is held on the 3rd of December each year. It aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability and celebrate their achievements and contributions.
Every Monday during the month of November, Rural Lifestyle Options Australia will countdown to this commemorative day by recognising and celebrating the achievements of a person with a disability in the wider community.
This week, we celebrate the life of Stephen Hawking, who had a rare early-onset slow-progressing form of motor neurone disease that gradually paralysed him.
