Meet our 2026 Ambassador!
ROWAN MACDONALD
2026 Easter Seals PEI Ambassador
Rowan is sixteen years old, in Grade Ten at Colonel Gray High School and lives in Charlottetown. Joining Rowan on his ambassador journey are his parents, Christopher MacDonald and stepmum, Shannon Taylor, his mom, Lisa Parent, his older sister, Paige MacDonald and his little sister, Beatrix Taylor-MacDonald.
Outside of school, Rowan enjoys dance, attending Camp Gencheff and Joyriders, listening to music and hanging out with his friends.
Rowan was diagnosed with Down syndrome when he was born, and this has been life-changing for his family. Every day, they are grateful for Rowan, and they focus intensely on his abilities, rather than his disabilities.
Rowan hopes that by sharing his condition, he can help more people become aware of Down syndrome and continue to shine his light on the people he meets.
Rowan wants to thank everyone for raising funds for Easter Seals PEI, as it will help many Islanders like him who are living with disabilities.
He is very excited about being this year’s ambassador and sharing his motto: “There is ability in every disability. We are no less. We are unstoppable.”
Thank you to Dow’s Fashions and Heckbert’s Photography for their support providing our Ambassador’s blazer and official photo.
Rowan’s motto:
“There is ability in every disability. We are no less. We are unstoppable.”
