Dozens of Mount Sinai Health System employees, patients, and volunteers participated in the fourth annual Disability Pride Parade NYC on Sunday, July 15.
Wearing cobalt blue and magenta capes emblazoned with the word “superhero,” the group carried a Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Center banner along the nine-block parade route, which extended from Madison Square Park to Union Square Park.
The Disability Pride Parade NYC was launched in 2015 by jazz musician Mike LeDonne in honor of his daughter, Mary, who was born with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder that impairs development. Each year, the parade celebrates inclusivity and supports individuals with disabilities.
