with Melissa Calahan

Melissa shares the story of her neighbor, a young man with Down’s Syndrome, who became unexpectedly “famous” when he was featured on a billboard for a Special Olympics promotion. He turned his fame into an opportunity to good for others. Melissa talks about their friendship and how this guy became an inspiration for others.

Melissa is a dynamic and inspiring speaker who was featured in September in a Hendricks Live! production of Stories Next Door, an evening of storytelling sponsored by the Republican Newspaper.
