About the Move for Life Mobility Fair: The mobility fair provides individuals, families, and the larger community the chance to explore adaptive equipment and home modification that can improve or maintain mobility and independence.

Pizza and light refreshments will be provided while supplies last.

Film Summary: The film tells the story of international disability rights advocate, Cara Elizabeth Yar Khan. Deep in the throes of an               aggressive, fatal muscle-wasting disease and no longer able to walk unassisted, Cara ventures out on a daring, 12-day expedition through the Grand Canyon.

Cara’s journey to live an extraordinary life and shatter stigma against people living with disabilities unexpectedly becomes a deep dive into fear, trust and vulnerability. As the entire expedition team grapples with unanticipated dangers in a truly remote wilderness, they also come face to face with their individual demons, insecurities, and internal conflicts.

Parking: Parking is free at the main entrance of the building.

Accommodations: ASL and open captioning will be provided. There is a sensory calming room onsite as well. If additional accommodations are required to participate in the evening, please contact RFF: Cleveland & Akron at:
