Interview with Ashley Richmond Director of HUG (Help Us Gather); A non-profit advocate for inclusion

In this episode I’ll be speaking with Ashley Richmond, she is a Director for the non-profit, HUG, which stands for Help Us Gather, located in Clearwater, Fla, a city in the Tampa Bay area.  HUG was founded by Robin Lally whose brother, Rick is autistic. I discovered this wonderful organization as I was researching for my podcast on extracurricular activities for people with disabilities. HUG’s mission is to advocate for inclusion and connect people with disabilities to vibrant social lives. I’m really excited to have this opportunity to share HUG’s story with you and so grateful to Ashley for her time.
