After 41 long hours in the water without rest, Jay Serdula’s dream of swimming across Lake Ontario to raise awareness for Asperger’s Syndrome has finally come true! Jay touched down at Leslie Street Spit in Toronto Wednesday morning at 3:14 a.m. Jay arrived to the resounding cheers of his family members, volunteers, Kerry’s Place Autism Services staff and the media. As you can imagine, Jay’s feat not only took extraordinary physical, but also mental stamina and incredible focus. The team of volunteers who supported Jay throughout this process, including a large number of Kerry’s Place Autism Services employees from our Southeast Region, worked tirelessly to arrange the logistics and create awareness around his swim. Everyone should be very proud of their accomplishments! Kerry’s Place Autism Services is pleased to welcome Jay as our special guest speaker at this year’s Annual General Meeting – so be sure to mark October 2nd in your calendar to hear Jay talk about his outstanding achievements. Congratulations again to both Jay on his amazing accomplishments and to all of the volunteers who helped make this event happen.
