“By believing in me, Count On Me helped me overcome shyness, and gave me my start as a public speaker at their golf tournaments. This encouraged me to become an advocate for people with disabilities, which has led to my amazing life representing many organizations. I love how [Count On Me]creates opportunities for children to experience new things, and bring joy to those that are hospitalized. [Count On Me] unites us, and shows us that all people are valuable, and dreams are possible.”
