Episode description

On this episode of the DREAM. THINK. DO. podcast, I'm joined by Ryan Weimer to discover how he used his passion to give hundreds of kids their magical moment. Listen To The Podcast:      A pirate ship, Toothless, and the Frozen ice castle.  What do these all have in common?  They’re magically elaborate Halloween costumes specifically created for children in wheelchairs by my guest, Ryan Weimer.  Ryan was simply a dad who wanted his children to be seen as superstars, which led him to start Magic Wheelchairs, a non-profit that constructs costumes tailor-made for kids in wheelchairs. Now you too can discover how to take your passion and use it to improve the lives of others! Learn how Ryan went from a nurse and father of five to the founder of a non-profit, one that puts in hundreds of hours to make a special night for children across the country.  You’ll find out how he used a Kickstarter campaign to expand his dream, and why it’s so important to be willing to ask for and receive help from those who wish to give.  You don’t have to have it all figured out; you just have to start.  Now is the time to find your passion, your love, and take that first step towards living it!
