Needless to say, Ryan knows what’s up when it comes to winning life RN!
Now, Ryan is stepping up to help students in Nunavut, Canada, who are in need of proper winter wear!
On Tuesday, Canada’s most well-known parka brand, Canada Goose, announced that it would be donating coats to more than 300 students who are attending Inuujaq School in Arctic Bay, Nunavut.
In a statement, Ryan said it had recently come to his attention that the students at the school, which is located above the Arctic Circle on Baffin Island, didn’t have proper winter gear to sustain them through the frigid temperatures.
“It highlights a larger issue of basic needs going unmet in Canada’s northern communities,” Ryan began.
“I reached out to Canada Goose to match me in providing these students with essential winter gear. They not only said yes in under 30 seconds, but went so far above and beyond matching me. I’m deeply inspired and grateful.”
This is such an amazing initiative!
Way to go, Ryan!
