Killarney

<h3>Paralympian Jordan Lee will share his experiences with schools all over Kerry.</h3>
The Killarney man has embarked on a countywide tour &#8216;Jordan&#8217;s Drive&#8217; in association with Kelliher&#8217;s Garage, a series of informal talks on his achievements and how he overcame his disability to reach the top of his chosen sport.
 The 21-year-old was born with a foreshortened left arm known as amniotic band syndrome but has enjoyed a successful sports career which included representing Ireland at the Tokyo Olympics last summer.
 Now he wants to share his story and inspire other students to follow their dreams.
 His tour started last week at Colaiste na Sceilge in Cahersiveen and over the next few weeks, depending on his training schedule, will visit schools in Firies, Milltown, and Killarney.
 &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be afraid of people with disabilities or different backgrounds,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;A few years ago there was only typical people in classrooms &ndash; you never came across people with disabilities or from various different countries. It is a lot more mixed now. I want to inspire people to treat everyone on the same level.&rdquo;
 &#8216;Jordan&#8217;s Drive&#8217; is made possible thanks to his role as a brand ambassador for Kelliher&rsquo;s Garage, dealer principal, Tim Kelliher explained to the Killarney Advertiser.
 &ldquo;Having got to know Jordan so well over the last couple of years we have come to realise how much of an inspiration he is so we decided to ask him to hop into his Toyota CHR Hybrid and bring his story out into the highways and byways of the Kingdom,&rdquo; he said.
 &ldquo;Headlined &lsquo;Jordans Drive&rsquo; and organised by my marketing team headed by Yvonne McMahon they have travelled to many of the schools around Kerry from Cahersiveen to Beaufort, Killorglin and with other dates planned for Firies and Milltown to name but a few. He has spoken his many words of wisdom to the children who have been in awe of the journey and his achievements, and we at Kelliher&rsquo;s Garage are delighted and proud to have him as our brand ambassador.&rdquo;
