Lorraine Woodward

“When the world wasn’t built for you, you build your own." Lorraine Woodward, CEO of Becoming rentABLE, turned her personal struggle with Muscular Dystrophy into a powerful mission. With three of the four in her family living with Muscular Dystrophy, Lorraine spent years frustrated with the impossible task of finding vacation rentals that fit her family’s needs. Tired of constant disappointment, she created "A Place of No Worries" in 2014, an accessible property that became a lifeline for other families with disabilities who faced the same struggle.

Realizing the huge demand for accessible short-term rentals and the glaring lack of options, Lorraine launched Becoming rentABLE in 2021. Lorraine is committed to making accessibility the norm, not the exception, expanding accessibility beyond just the wheelchair to include all mobility, cognitive, hearing, vision, and aging needs. Her vision is to create a world where everyone can travel with dignity and ease, regardless of ability.
