Hearing Her Own Voice for the First Time

Perhaps Sarah and her family didn't know about Lions Clubs.
 What an Amazing Moment!

In a dramatic home video that has gone viral, Sarah Churman, a 29-year-old mother who was born nearly deaf, hears her own voice for the first time after receiving a new hearing implant that her mother cashed in her retirement to help pay for! 


I was born deaf and 8 weeks ago I received a hearing implant. This is the video of them turning it on and me hearing myself for the first time :) Edit: For those of you who have asked the implant I received was Esteem offered by Envoy Medical. Check out my blog:http://sarahchurman.blogspot.com/. Sarah Churman. ATTN: MY BOOK WILL BE AVAILABLE IN OCTOBER. GO TO WWW.INDIGORIVERPUBLISHING.COM TO RESERVE YOUR COPY :)

Ronald Reagan Quote...


"A troubled and afflicted mankind looks to us, pleading for us to keep our rendezvous with destiny; that we will uphold the principles of self-reliance, self-discipline, morality, and, above all, responsible liberty for every individual that we will become that shining city on a hill." - Ronald Reagan

Lions Measles Initiative Update


Attention, Lions: WE DID IT!

Donations to One Shot, One Life: Lions Measles Initiative have surpassed our goal of $10 million. 

Thanks to the support of Lions across the globe, we've now raised $10,017,418 and met the challenge grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which promised to match every $2 Lions raised with $1. This means that Lions are responsible for contributing $15 million toward the effort to eliminate measles — and for saving the lives of millions of children.
