G Gathering An Evening with Ryan Zimmerman

An Evening with Ryan Zimmerman



The Chesapeake Sports Club hosted an evening with Ryan Zimmerman, former Kellam High School and UVA athlete, who also played for the MLB Washington Nationals. Ryan was promoting the ziMS foundation, which his family started to help not only his mother, but many others afflicted by Multiple Sclerosis. He has a true passion for the foundation and his family.
Ryan spoke to the crowd - especially to the younger guests in attendance. Members of baseball teams from the area were able to meet and talk with Ryan. His inspiring speech was directed towards the budding athletes. Then Adam Winkler from WTKR News 3 sat down with Ryan with some questions from the crowd.
