This event was a celebration of resilience, inclusion, and the power of recreation and community to transform lives.
Sharing my story alongside so many inspiring individuals was a humbling experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful evening.
I was deeply touched by the athletes, family members, caregivers, volunteers, and staff who shared their stories with me and thanked me for my speech.
The reality is, they all inspire me. I was especially moved by the many families affected by spinal cord injuries, ALS, cerebral palsy, and strokes that I had the privilege of connecting with.
Their strength, perseverance, and determination are truly a testament to the power of community and support.
I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to the generous donors who helped me raise 135% of my goal to support this incredible cause.
Your support makes a real difference in the lives of so many, ensuring that New England Disabled Sports can continue providing life-changing opportunities for athletes of all abilities.
A special thank you to New England Disabled Sports for their commitment to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities.
We left this event inspired and motivated, reminded that together, we are not just overcoming obstacles—we are redefining what’s possible.
