"When asked to be apart of the show, I didn’t even hesitate! Not only has Barry been an inspiration for me, but I’ve seen the impact he has on every individual he meets. His story has touched me, and he continues to amaze me every single time we catch up. His ability to overcome such adversity and still be one of the most positive, outgoing, determined, and genuine people I have ever met is inspiring. I consider him a role model, someone that I would strive to live my life after."
