ALTERNATIVE TO FLYING OR DRIVING?
Mindy Henderson, MDA’s Vice President of Disability Outreach and Empowerment and Editor-in-Chief of Quest Media, who lives with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), recently took her first Amtrak ride.
She described the five-hour trip from her home in Austin, Texas, to Dallas as a
“mixed bag.”
“Getting on the train was dreamy compared to air travel.
I could stay in my chair, and I didn’t have to worry about being lifted or dropped,” she says.
“The portable ramp from the platform
to the train was a bit steep, but the staff were good about standing behind me
so I didn’t flip.”
