The Viterbo community is invited to attend the presentation “Overcoming Obstacles” by Lucas Herro at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 2 in the Reinhart Center Board Room. The event is sponsored by the Center for Student Success.

From Herro’s website: “Two years ago my life was flipped upside down. After diving off the back of a boat into the river, I was left paralyzed from the neck down. At 22 years old, nothing could have prepared me for the road ahead. Countless medical professionals and therapists said I would be dependent on others, regain little function, and roll around in a power chair for the rest of my life. I have spent the last two years proving them wrong. Through intensive therapy, I have progressed from having someone feed me to taking independent steps with a walker. My journey is far from over. With the right mindset and unwillingness to quit, I will continue to defy the odds.”
