Speaker: Duke Pieper, Author and Speaker

 

Topic: I'm Alive: Courage Hope and a Miracle

 

An aspiring hockey star at Minnesota's elite Hill-Murrray School, 15 year old Duke Pieper faced a brain surgery with a five percent survival rate. In "I'm Alive: Courage,Hope and a Mirzcle", Duke recounts his personal and courageous war against the brain prison that threatened his life and his fearless battle to restore normalcy to his life. battling through months of paralysis, multiple surgeries, massive nerve damage, and more, Duke had to relearn how to breath, swapping, walk, talk, and live again. This inspiring young man shares how his strength and adaptation to his disabilities inspired him to build a platform to assist others who have succumbed to monumental loss. "I'm Alive" is a heartwarming, wonderful acclaim to a young man who never gave up, and who has be one an iconic inspiration to all who know him.
