Philip Richards lives a life of service.
I met Philip in 8th grade and we became fast friends with similar interests. Sunday School classmates, cross-country teammates, double dating and eventually college room mates and groomsmen in each other’s wedding. Philip lives a life of service. He was introduced to the United Way by his employer, Alagasco (29 years), over 20 years ago and continues to faithfully serve as a volunteer and speaker. Philip’s passion for service is most visible as an advocate for ARC and the programs they provide to help families living with disabilities. His leadership as President of Alabama Arc and as a National Arc Board Member gives him an opportunity to share his personal story and make a difference in the lives of others.
Just for Fun:
Cat or Dog? Reluctantly....dog
If you could have a superpower what would it be? the power to heal disabilities and illness
Favorite bedtime book or story? The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado. A book about a disabled lamb who finds he has a special purpose and place in this world. A lamb who has always felt different and sad because of his black spots and his limp, feels his true worth when he is called upon to help keep the baby Jesus warm.
