In this episode of the podcast, we get the unique opportunity to welcome Will Ryan, a senior athlete from the University of Iowa, who shares his inspiring journey of overcoming serious illness during high school, running for Iowa's cross country and track team, and raising funds for the Stead Family Children's Hospital through the Hawks Supporting Hawks initiative. Will is a senior from Waukee that prepped for Dowling Catholic. We dive deep into Will's background, his training regimen, and his volunteer work at the children's hospital. The hosts also announce a special initiative where 100% of the new Patreon sign-ups will go towards supporting Will's fundraising efforts for the Dance Marathon. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about resilience, community, and giving back.
