Closer to home, one boy and girl is also
chosen each year to represent Easter
Seals Ontario as an ambassador. This year,
15-year-old Grace Kennedy and 16-year-old
Benny MacDonald were chosen for their
dedication to representing kids with physi-
cal disabilities and desire to give back.
In her own words being a 2017 Easter
Seals Ambassador will give Grace the op-
portunity to “be the voice of those who
may not have a voice and to speak about
acceptance for all people.”
Being a 2017 Provincial Easter Seals Am-
bassador means the world to Benny. He
says, “I look forward to meeting new peo-
ple and continuing to develop an under-
standing of physical disabilities for every-
one. Being able to represent Easter Seals
is an honour. Every day on this Earth is a
beautiful gift.”
The Easter Seals Ontario team sees these
courageous kids and their families face
tremendous challenges every day. “Giv-
en the right support, we see them rise to
these challenges and become remarkable
human beings,” says Collins.With the right
kind of support from Easter Seals Ontario
and donors across the country, they are
truly unstoppABLE.
