Olympian Ryan Held’s Inspirational Secret Santa Gift Goes Viral
Tis the season for Secret Santa gift exchanges where friends, co-workers and even swimming teammates give and receive gifts, most often anonymously until the sneaky parties involved are revealed. As we’re in 2016, the tradition has evolved to even take place on the web. Recently approximately 25,000 users of the social media photo sharing app, Imgur, participated in its version of the gift-giving venture, one which took an unexpected turn for a certain participant.
When Brittany Del Rocco of Warrenton, Virginia opened her random package from her Imgur gift-giver, she let out a yelp of excitement. Included in her package was a signed swim cap, complete with the American flag and a letter from its owner explaining his recent inspirational journey. The gift-giver? None other than 2016 Olympic gold medalist Ryan Held.
