It was sent free to newspapers due to support primarily from Midwestern-famous Blue Valley Sod of Winnebago, Minnesota. The column features real-life stories of people with physical, mental, intellectual, and learning disabilities. Daniel J. Vance is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota.
