Mark has been a member of a local Rotary club for quite a few years now. The Rotarians have been very supportive of Michael in his journey through leukemia. Last week, it was Mark's turn to provide a speaker for their lunch meeting. He asked if Michael would join him and share with the club what the past year has been like from his own perspective and be able to meet and thank those who have been so kind and encouraging to him.
Michael did attend and spoke for several minutes about his experiences. He was nervous and reported later that he'd stumbled and repeated himself, but he truly did a fine job. To his horror, he found out that one of the members records each speaker and posts the presentations online! I've included the link to the video, if you'd like to watch it for yourself.
Michael's not particularly eager to begin a career in public speaking, but I'm glad that he had this opportunity to share his story.
Great job! Lefty
