2016 Ms. Wheelchair Washington
Nicole Martini

Blue Path

On July 14th, 2010 I was invited by Blue Path, to assist in the making of an informational video which displays the struggles of those who utilize wheelchairs while being in a hotel living situation. This was such a joyous project to participate in. I have had a number of experiences with hotel accomodations not being completely accessible to my personal needs. My best friend, Tony McCane, has also been very passionate in wanting to advocate for the right accomodations for guests who are utilizing wheelchairs during their stay at the hotels. It is a great privilege to be a part of Blue Path's hotel advocacy project! Not only does it give me the ability to advocate and educate about my personal experiences while staying at hotels, but it also gave me the ability to carry on Tony McCane's mission of raising awareness of the necessary changes that need to happen within hotels across America. Thank you Blue Path for inviting me to such a big part of this great advocacy project!
