Keynote Speaker  Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes:  (Excerpt from WHAS Crusade for Children)  University of Louisville band member Patrick Henry Hughes, who has captured national headlines for his inspiring story of determination and remarkable achievement despite being physically challenged, will be joined with his father as our Featured Speaker.

Despite being born with a rare genetic disorder that left him with no eyes and the inability to fully straighten his arms or legs, Hughes is excelling in college. With his dad guiding his way, Hughes is a trumpet player in the University of Louisville marching band, a concert pianist who has performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., a recording artist and, most important, a straight-A student.

Born on March 10, 1988 in Louisville, Ky., Hughes' passion for music began at an early age. His parents, musicians in their own right, used music to calm him as a baby. Hughes always wanted to "play with Dad" and soon followed in his musical footsteps, playing notes on the piano at nine months and full songs by age 2, all by listening to the tune.

None of this would be possible, however, without the help and encouragement from his family - mom, Patricia, dad, Patrick John, and his two younger brothers, Jesse and Cameron. Hughes' dad plays an especially vital role as Patrick's "eyes" at school and his "legs" on the field. The elder Hughes works nights so that he can spend his days helping his son with his school work and attending band practice.

"I am blessed to be a part of the path that my son Patrick Henry Hughes is traveling," said the elder Hughes. "Patrick's commitment to his studies, music and faith, as well as his positive attitude toward all he comes in contact with are characteristics that any father would be proud to see in his son, as I am to see them in Patrick."
