| Christina Huffman of Greensboro, left, and her mother, Debby Huffman, prepare for a talk with state Sen. Linda Garrou at the Legislative Office Building. Christina, who has cerebral palsy, rehearsed the words she'd use to pitch the need for more medical services: "We need good nurses, good teachers and good therapists."
