Before they purchased Wrexham AFC, Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds were told to contact two people: footballing legend Dixie McNeil and Kerry Evans. When Kerry received that call from California, something inside her sparked at the words 'Would you like to come on a journey with us?'
Born with cerebral palsy, Kerry battled indifferent doctors, relentless bullies and crushing anxiety to establish the life she'd dreamed of. At thirty, she suffered a near-fatal brain bleed, leaving her without feeling on her right side and unable to walk. From rock bottom, Kerry fought to get her life back. Everything changed when she became Wrexham's disability liaison officer... and then Hollywood came calling.
Stronger Than You Think offers a unique insider perspective on Wrexham's star-studded takeover, with first-hand insights into how two famous actors altered the fortunes of the club and the community surrounding it. But this isn't just the story of Wrexham AFC. This is the story of how one woman's indomitable spirit enabled her to overcome the odds stacked firmly against her and make an immeasurable impact on the lives of football fans with disabilities and their families.
Kerry Evans is disability liaison officer at Wrexham AFC. A wheelchair user herself, she began volunteering with the club in 2016 and made huge progress in improving accessibility at the Racecourse Ground. Kerry is one of the few remaining employees who witnessed the Hollywood takeover and she continues to support fans with disabilities at Wrexham and beyond.
She and her husband, Kings, have a daughter, Casey, and are proud grandparents to Hali.
