Quinte resident Ryan Kelly was one of 10 Ontarians presented a car as a winner in this year's Toyota Wishgiver contest.

Mark Philbin and Ingrid Moore of 95.5 Hits FM caught up with Ryan and Andy Caletti of Belleville Toyota who were in Toronto for the presentation.

Here is the nomination for Ryan submitted by his friend Charlene:

I’d like to nominate Ryan. Ryan is someone who puts others above himself and truly cares for others. I want to share with you what I learned about Ryan, who I consider a hero among us. Ryan has been involved in many fundraisers supporting families and events and has been a part of many life altering events… putting his personal life aside to help others because this is who he is as a person and friend. He never looks for a thank you – it’s not about that with him. He is just a person who strives to help others in any way he can.

Here are some amazing accomplishments Ryan has done to help his community; Ryan raised $10,000 for a friend who had melanoma; he held a charity for diabetes and raised $18,000. Ryan, while working at restaurant, put together a charity event for our son Thomas who has Gliomatosis cerebri stage 3 brain cancer. He raised $30,000 for Thomas and our family. He also spent countless days with Thomas and us taking dinner to us, and when Thomas couldn’t get out of bed, it was Ryan there to put a smile on his face. Ryan did amazing things for our family. Ryan met us and found out about Thomas cancer and felt compelled to help because that’s who Ryan is. He also did a bike ride for cancer and helped raised $1,880. Ryan helped raise money for childhood cancer two years ago, and he and others raised $50,000. Ryan was part of an event again last year and helped raise money for throat cancer (I believe it was $50,000). Ryan is the co-emcee this year for a prostate cancer fundraiser. He has given his free time for the toy drive last year with the firefighters. He has not only helped in our community of Belleville, but helped others who needed help when he was in Ottawa. Ryan would cook dinner for the homeless at the congress centre. He is truly an inspiring amazing person. He’s even donated time and done the peddle for hope with the police visiting schools raising money for childhood cancer. If there is anyone deserving of anything, it would be without a doubt Ryan.
