It’s Day 8 of MnCAN’s 30 Days of Life with Aphasia — today we’re celebrating John!  

John has been with MnCAN for a long time, and his advocacy, and energy are felt everywhere he goes. 

He’s also someone who is always looking for ways to share the value of MnCAN with others whether he’s welcoming new participants, speaking up about aphasia, or encouraging people to get connected.

And just as his comment says, he doesn’t let aphasia stop him from living fully! He’s always ready for a trip, an adventure, or something new.  John reminds us what it looks like to live boldly and stay connected.

We’re so glad you’re a part of MnCAN, John!
