TODAY’S SPEAKER
JARED ESTES
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 this
theory.
As newlyweds at age 25, Jared, his wife
Paige, and two friends were driving home
from a hockey game when they 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 began to sink into a deep depression - he had trouble recognizing
himself in the mirror and battled feelings of resentment towards the
person who caused this situation. He was truly at a crossroad in his life...
torn between giving up and surviving.
With the love and support of his family and friends, Jared was able to
find a new perspective that helped him emerge from the darkness. He
realized the value of gratitude and forgiveness, and became determined
to recover beyond the doctors’ diagnoses. His character was molded as
he maintained an optimistic attitude throughout his physical therapy and
numerous complex surgeries. Jared had a realization that he could
decide to surpass mere survival… he could FIRE BACK.
Jared’s perseverance paid off - he is clearing his bucket list by checking
off marathons and sitting in tankers swapping stories with soldiers. His
endurance has allowed him to discover his life mission – to help others
by sharing his amazing story of tragedy and triumph. Jared realizes that
trials and the need for perseverance is not unique to him, rather it is
something that we all must deal with in life. His mantra is that there will
be times when life will get us down, and kick us while we are down.
When that happens, we must not only get back up, but we must FIRE
BACK.
