Ivan interviews Carlos Valdes (Flash)

Описание: Ivan was able to interview celebrities at Atlanta Comic con.

Ivan uses an eye gaze device to speak. He gets tired easy as he's recovering from a surgery but interviewing people brings him joy. Ivan has Dandy Walker Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy. Huge thank you to the very kind Carlos Valdes who was wonderful to Ivan and Ivan loved and for taking the time for him and seeing who he is inside and Atlanta Comic Con for being so kind and accomodating Ivan.

Thanks to Ryan Seacrest Foundation & Seacrest Studios in Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, we found interviewing people is his favorite thing to do. The studios allow patients to interact with guests and broadcasts to every room. They bring Ivan so much joy. He wants to share his interviews with all patients in the hospital too. He now has his own show at the hospital where he shares his interviews with patients called Ivan's Voice.

Because people believed in Ivan, because people gave Ivan a chance, Ivan is living his dream. Taking the time to answer a question for him means everything to him. Making memories and giving him the best quality of life is what life is all about.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Let Ivan be your example for this. He has so much personality, joy, humor. So many assume he can't, he won't...but look at what he's doing.

Believe in others, give chances, make memories.

You can see his story on his channel to learn a little more about him.
