Big Red Inspiration

Being a horse guy - wanna-be cowboy maybe - one of my favorite movies has got to be Secretariat. Big Red, he was nick-named, a huge sorrel-colored stallion. What I really loved about the movie was its inspiring spirit... overcoming negativity and naysayers (or neigh-sayers... ok, bad pun).

“You’re gonna see something today that you ain’t never seen before,” shouted one of Big Red’s handlers into the misty, morning dawn in front of an empty Grandstand. It was the morning of Big Red’s biggest race ever and all odds were against him. Cut to the finish... he overcame.

It would be horse talk to say Secretariat was the inspiration for the Disability Today Network. But we have created something that the disability community “ain’t never seen before.” We applaud our first 12 Channels for grabbing this opportunity by the reigns and be leaders in this new media. Many more are following them into the Network for a full field of great content for people with disabilities.

No, the Network is not a horse race, but there is one runaway winner... us with disabilities who benefit from this dynamic new resource. We’re growing each week with our sights set on 50 Channels by summer’s end. Follow each update as it happens through Twitter, Facebook or sign-up for our Network News emails.

And bet on us to Show 1-2-3... content, community and convenience for you.
