Mindy Scheier's journey began when her son Oliver, who has a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy, wanted to wear jeans to school like his friends, but couldn’t manage the buttons or zippers. She realized then that millions of people around the world must also be struggling to access fashionable clothing that meets their needs. She began to envision a world where all styles of clothing were available with modifications that would make them accessible for people with disabilities. 

After spending 20 years in the fashion industry and opening a design school for kids, Mindy decided to combine her experience and her passion to address this unmet need by founding the Runway of Dreams Foundation.
