have
been
described
as
“amazing,
life
changing
and
unforgettable.”John’s life is proof of the power of the human spirit.
As a nine-year-old boy, he was burned on 100% of his body, and was given less
than one percent chance of survival.
Despite
the odds, he survived - and has thrived.
With emotional story-telling and great humor, John
challenges every audience to embrace their scars and
grow through adversity.
Don't miss this great opportunity to courageously dream again and re-ignite your
life! |
