Peter J Murray's inspiring story

The most impressive thing in this video is Murray performing during at schools. The man is an inspiration!

What an amazing story! And what a nice guy. Of course, it does kinda beg the question - but what if you're not a teacher and have never been and so don't have the kind of links he had... Still, I guess there is more than one way to skin the proverbial cat!
