KEYNOTE SPEAKER:

It has been said that life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it. Jared Estes' life is a testament to that theory. As newlyweds at age 25, Jared, his wife Paige, and two friends were struck by a drunk driver going over 120 mph. This horrific moment changed the course of Jared's life in ways he could have never imagined. Jared barely escaped death as he suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns on half of his body. As he began to endure more than 50 surgeries, doctors delivered devastating diagnoses, including a lifetime of pain and loss of functionality. Even worse, his bride of only six months was killed in the crash. Jared struggled with physical and emotional recovery before he was able to find a new perspective on life with the help of support from family and friends. Jared had a realization that he could decide to surpass mere survival… he could FIRE BACK.
