What connects Canadian track athlete and 3-time
Olympian Harry Jerome, and professional football player Brian
Nugent?
Well, courage, passion and dedication are just a
few of the traits these accomplished athletes share. And while Brian
never knew Harry personally, he can definitely relate to his life
and challenges.
Meet both of these inspiring athletes – one
through watching the film, Harry Jerome: The Fastest Man on
Earth, and the other, Brian Nugent, live in our
upcoming virtual classroom!
