Have You Overcome Adversity?

“Someone needs to tell those tales. There’s magic in that. It’s in the listener, and for each and every ear it will be different, and it will affect them in way they can never predict. From the mundane to the profound. You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone’s soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows what they might do because of it, because of your words.” - The Night Circus

Do you have a story to share about how you have overcome adversity?

 Corresponding with the theme of the upcoming Peterborough SPEAKS event – “What doesn’t break you makes you stronger” – we invite you to submit stories about a challenge that you have overcome in your life. There is no story too big or too small to be told.

Select stories will be compiled in our blog, and two winners will be drawn to win two free tickets each to the Peterborough SPEAKS event, on 15 April 2015 at Market Hall (a $130 value).

You have until February 28^th to submit your stories to info@gphsf.ca. Winners will be contacted via email.

They are joined by the musical guests Christopher Dallo & Brian Roman and emcee Linda Kash, who will present a pre-show to lead you into the main event.
