Because of a disease that affects every nerve in her body, Catherine Holl has been in a wheelchair for 30 years.

She believes if a person could spend even one day sitting in her chair, they could begin to understand how a disabled person struggles with daily living in a world of the abled.

Holl, 58, of 603 Federal Drive, Sharon, is the co-executive director of Mercer County Disabilities Coalition, which is headquartered at the Farrell City Building, 500 Roemer Blvd.
