Born and raised in Eastern Pennsylvania. Life has been a journey and wonderful at that. I was born 10 weeks early resulting in the condition known as CEREBRAL PALSY. That is a form of Muscular Dystrophy. 2 doctors had told my mother I would NEVER walk. PLEASE see my web-site www.tonyb4hope.com. Never being one to let things get the best of me..I am now a national motivational speaker. I think there is so much to be said for true Motivation these days, not Hype. BULLYING is a huge issue in America's schools. It IS at epidemic levels. Staff at more and more middle schools and High schools are becoming aware of this serious ISSUE. I was BULLIED for 5 years in the Schools for being different. I do not one to dwell on negativity. I know Kids, teenegers and Adults all deal with stuff. It is awesome to encourage! I think it is great to share one's story....for many people that is a tough thing. BULLYING can be verbal and physical. It can have long-lasting effects on the BULLY and those that get bullied. Many by-standers want to know how and why to get involved--and that is what I speak on.This is a message for Youth Groups, Pastors, Youth Pastors, teachers, Youth Leaders, Camps, retreats. A message that is very much a teachable tool for kids, teenagers and even adults. I speak anywhere on the issues-- not just Churches or Schools. Also, I talk about struggling with identity, the Joy of being DIFFERENT, REACHING OUT, HELPING PEOPLE.....and loving people for who they are. God's Blessings and how each one of us is so important. God can touch the life of anyone. Our differences make us awesome. The message is one to challenge, encourage, motivate, help, reach out, Challenge and inspire. A message of heart and determination!!!! Please contact me e-mail
