Meet Megan, 2026 Local Adult Ambassador

Megan Durre’s Easterseals story started when she was a child growing up on Evansville’s West Side. Megan has cerebral palsy, and therapy services at the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center enabled her to reach developmental milestones, enjoy activities with her friends, and succeed in school. 
  
After graduating from Reitz High School in 2018, Megan returned to Easterseals with her sights set on the future. Reaching new therapy goals empowered her to continue her education at IVY Tech Community College. Megan obtained an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education and earned a certificate in Business Administration.
  
Now Megan has her eye on a career. She’s working with Easterseals Employment Services to find a fulfilling position leading to greater independence in the community.
  
Megan is passionate about advocating for herself and others, especially in the area of accessibility. “I feel like it is important to advocate for people with disabilities because if you don’t, you don’t get what you want and need,” she said.
  
Megan didn’t hesitate when she was asked to serve as this year’s Adult Ambassador. “I said YES because I feel like my story can help people watching the Telethon to know what Easterseals has to offer and how they can help other people who need services.”
