YOU ARE INVITED TO
World Champion Special Olympian. Ryan Kealey Recognition Event
In June of this year a local resident of the North Thompson Valley, Ryan Kealey represented Canada on the World Stage at the Special Olympics World Games in Berlin Germany.
Ryan overcame obstacles in his life that most of us would have found insurmountable, but despite this, he trained for years becoming an inspiration and role model to millions of people around the world struggling with mental or physical disabilities. He is changing the conversation of how we perceive those we label as different.
On Friday November 3rd, 2023, I am hosting a meet and greet to honor Ryan and his inspirational story. It is being held at Evergreen Acres Seniors Hall 146 Evergreen Place in Clearwater BC, from 7:00 to 9:00 Pm. Light refreshments will be served as well as light snacks courtesy of the Strawberry Moose. If you wish you can donate toward the Special Olympics in BC
Ryan will be in attendance and will present the 4 medals he won at the Olympics, 3 Silvers and a Gold. There will be a short screening of a trailer for the Documentary telling his story and a slide show of his journey at the Olympics. I will also be presenting a cheque to the BC Special Olympics on behalf of the incredible support we received during the GoFundMe campaign which enabled us to capture events as they unfolded in real time.
Following the screening Ryan will be doing a questions and answer session.
Come on our and meet the North Thompsons Valley real-life Superhero, it will mean so much to him and the community he represents. Hope to see you there.
With much appreciation,
Friday November 3rd, from 7 to 9 PM at Evergreen Acres Seniors Hall, 146 Evergreen Place Clearwater BC
