Coupeville High School students got to experience a unique take on life Thursday morning.
Disability rights advocates and YouTube stars Shane and Hannah Burcaw offered a presentation “recognizing the power of humor in improving lives.”
Shane Burcaw, who was born with spinal muscular atrophy, launched a blog in 2011 to share his life experiences.
He and his cousin Sarah later started an organization called Laughing at My Nightmare, which “enhances the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by offering free adaptive and medical equipment, assistive technology, and access to higher education.”
Burcaw and his wife also have a popular YouTube channel, “Squirmy and Grubs.”
Thursday’s assembly was part of the 2025 Trudy Sundberg Lecture Series for high school students, sponsored by Sno-Isle Libraries.
