John O'Leary'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 given less that one percent chance of survival. He endured months in the hospital, years in therapy, dozens of surgeries, and lost all of his fingers to amputation. As an international speaker John's message of triumph over tragedy spans all walks of life and has incredible impact on his audiences." Students at HHS will hear Mr. O'Leary speak during the school day, the community is invited to hear his story in the middle school auditorium.
