Alliance Voices: Ian McLean, President of Thermal Press International
Company: Thermal Press International
Member Since: 2013

Alliance member Ian McLean, President of Thermal Press International, spoke passionately about the power of dreams during our “Alliance Voices” presentation series on August 19, 2016.

What unfolded was a heartfelt story about his grade school friend, Darren Dent, nicknamed “Hoody,” with whom he shares a great passion for horseracing. After learning of Hoody’s battle with ALS, Ian embarked on an amazing and ongoing journey by purchasing a racing horse named “Runninforhoody.” He invited Hoody to partner in the adventure of racing the horse while raising awareness for ALS. To boot, the horse turned out to be a media sensation and a real contender in important races, raising money and awareness for the disease. The deferential silence in the room as Ian shared his story spoke volumes to the power of human connection and the love of this sport.
