Without warning, Raymond's four year old daughter suddenly became paralyzed overnight. Diagnosed with stage four pediatric cancer, Bella was given weeks to live. Her short life would have seemed meaningless. Her family appeared to be destined forever to be consumed by tragedy and unspeakable grief. Instead, the story of #LiveLikeBella inspired a movement to serve others around the globe and a roadmap of how to purposely choose triumph over any tragedy. In memory of his daughter Bella who passed at the tender age of 10 after a valiant and inspiring battle with cancer, Raymond voluntarily serves as Chairman of the Live Like Bella® childhood cancer foundation, which has made possible millions for childhood cancer research. His foundation serves families with children battling cancer across the U.S. and in 36 countries. He is the author of the bestselling book entitled Why Not Me? and of the audio book 12 Principles To Walk In Victory. Raymond donates 100% of the profits from his books to pediatric cancer research and charity. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
