Be inspired! Amy Chally uses her own experiences to educate and encourage others and to be a beacon of hope for other people with disabilities and their families.
Be inspired! Join Amy Chally, author, motivational speaker, and disability awareness consultant, as she speaks about her book Making Independence Happen. She will be joined by her current service dog Portland and will demonstrate how he helps her in her daily routine. This unique and inspiring memoir gives readers a glimpse of the powerful bond that exists between a dog and his handler as well as a closer look at what it’s like to live with physical differences – while dreaming, laughing, and loving just like everyone else. After the presentation, Amy will be able to answer questions, and copies of her book will be available for purchase, with 15 percent of the proceeds benefiting Canine Companions for Independence. All ages are welcome.
