Each lion recipient is invited to share his or her story of courage on the website.  Sharing your story of adversity sometimes helps you make sense of your own challenges. Each story gives hope to others who suffer by helping us each understand that we are not alone in our struggles. Often, reading the stories of others helps sufferers put their own challenges into perspective.

But there's an even more important reason to share your story of courage. As you share your story, you help us build a chain of support for all of those who will receive your lion in the future. We encourage you to contact us so that we can, with your permission, share your story of courage with others who are hurting. Please send us an email at ryanslionfoundation@gmail.com or fill out this form to share your story.
