16-year-old Luke Weber survived a rare and dangerous form of cancer as a child with strength and style. He gave an amazing talk at the Octavian Forum in October about overcoming adversity, which you can watch by clicking above. He’s wise beyond his years. So take a look and get inspired as 2018 kicks into gear.

Remember, the Octavian Forum is only a small part of what we do.
