Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury
At 21, in college, Chad E. Foster lost his eyesight but didn't let that rob him of his life's vision. Instead of letting it hold him back, he built a life around it — he's now a downhill skier, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, and a sought-after keynote speaker. Through his remarkable story, Chad shares how he's built a bigger life without sight than he had with sight — turning obstacles into opportunity, and showing you how you can do the same with whatever you're up against. As he puts it: "I lost my sight, but I've never felt more alive." You don't want to miss this one."
In addition, a speaker from Hackensack Meridian Behavioral Health will discuss mental resilience and adapting to change. Together both speakers will help others overcome challenges and help them to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.
There will be a resource fair and a collection of unwanted glasses for the Lions Club Recycle for Sight Program. Lunch will be served.
Participants are encouraged to submit questions during registration for the speakers. All questions submitted will be presented anonymously.
This program is made possible by the Mitchell-Vassar Bright Future Legacy.
