Katie Lynch award
On May 20th I was the recipient of the 2nd annual Katie Lynch award for most inspirational speaker in Newton. At a breakfast event sponsored by the Mayor of Newton as part of the Newton Understanding Our Differences program, the Lynch’s themselves presented me with a most beautiful plaque. The award is named after their daughter who was a most inspirational speaker herself about disabilities but who died a few years ago. When she died her parents created a foundation (see the link for information on Katie’s life) and this award in her honor. I was quite honored.
It was a wonderful year for me speaking to over 700 kids in Newton in the 4th and 5th grades. They impacted me as much as I impacted them. I truly appreciate the honor this award signifies and I hope to continue to speak to kids in Newton and elsewhere.
