Illustration of a man in a manual wheelchair does a wheelie to get down a step on a sidewalk. He has an annoyed expression as he ignores a cheering crowd from across the street. The crowd claps and cheers for the disabled man. A woman cheers with a huge smile on her face, hands up to her mouth. A fit man in the crowd is taking a photo of the man in the wheelchair, saying “Yo I gotta post this… # no excuses”. A woman next to him is crying holding up a sign reading “Handi-capable”, with the word capable underlined, surrounded by hearts. Another man is crying with his hands over his heart.
