I stand here with my friend Craig MacFarlane, who through hard work, dedication, and a lot of spirit has proven that being blind has nothing to do with your accomplishments.

I believe that if professional hockey players or professional baseball players, football players, whatever, if they ever went out and approached their games and played their games with the heart that this guy goes at his sports and everything he does, the way he goes at it, I don't think there would ever be any empty seats in any building in any league. He's a very, very strong, super guy.

Quotes
I marvel at a young man who has accomplished so much under such adverse conditions, but to see the fortitude and strength that this young man has exemplified, I think it should be a lesson not only to all of Canada or all the people here tonight, but to anyone who can touch the life of such a fine young man. He's an inspiration and a credit to a sport that probably doesn't receive the recognition, that say hockey or football or baseball does, but yet he continues to persevere because it's a self-lit flame that drives him. To me he's a true champion.

Craig MacFarlane is a good friend of mine. We spent some time together and I admire his strength, his courage and his enthusiasm. Nobody knows better than Craig what Pride in America is all about. For Craig it means having the desire, the energy and the perseverance to accomplish worthwhile goals which inspire and encourage all Americans. Craig is a credit to himself as well as to America. As you listen to Craig you will understand much better what the word PRIDE means.

We engaged Craig MacFarlane to speak at the World Law Group Summit in Atlanta, Georgia. We hosted approximately 150 lawyers and guests from 60 law firms from around the world. Craig brought his A-game and inspired everyone with his stories and lessons on how to overcome adversity, achieve unparalleled success and Find Your Flame. His presentation touched each person, reaching them where they were that morning. Craig was amazing! I would recommend Craig to speak to any organization who is looking for personal stories and lessons to move, inspire and motivate their group.
