Amputee to share his personal story with students

The keynote speaker at this year’s Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce banquet also will be sharing his story of personal courage with Kingfisher school students earlier in the day. “Kingfisher … Reaching New Heights” is the theme of this year’s banquet.

Todd Huston, an amputee who overcame his personal challenges to reach the summit of the highest peaks in all 50 states in less than 67 days, will speak to Kingfisher public school and Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School students at two assemblies Monday morning, Feb. 10, before speaking at the chamber banquet at 6:30 p.m. at the Kingfisher County Fairgrounds Exhibit Building.

“The chamber board felt his personal story and his motivational message would be such a benefit to our students that we’re sponsoring him to speak at the schools as well as the banquet,” Chamber Manager Judy Whipple said.

Huston got his legs caught in a boat propeller at age 14, then battled through several surgeries in an effort to keep his legs, but the bone disease eventually forced the amputation of one leg.

Huston eventually became a psychotherapist and clinical director of the Amputee Resource Center in California and also worked in psychiatric hospitals for adults, adolescents, and children.

He used his professional skills and personal experiences to help patients facing similar challenges and also trained health-care professionals and written articles in working with individuals coping with disabilities.

Then Huston completed a world-record-setting Summit America expedition by climbing to the highest elevations of all 50 states in only 66 days 22 hours and 47 minutes, shattering the original record by 35 days.

He has been featured in thousands of publications throughout the world, including the popular book, Chicken Soup for the Soul, A Second Helping.

He has appeared as a special guest on CBS Year in Sports and on most major broadcast and cable news networks.

In addition to earning a number of distinguished honors, Huston shared his story in a book, More than Mountains: The Todd Huston Story, and has hosted inspirational radio and television programs.

Tickets to the chamber banquet, which also will feature presentation of Kingfisher’s Citizen of the Year and Volunteer of the Year awards, are available now at the chamber office and all four Kingfisher banks. Click here for Original Story

CAMERON UNIVERSITY PRESENTS AMPUTEE TODD HUSTON ON OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

October 1, 2013

Cameron University’s Office of Student Development, in conjunction with Cameron Lectures and Concerts Series, will present “Every Challenge is an Opportunity. Every Opportunity is a Challenge,” a presentation by amputee, author, world record holder and inventor Todd Huston. The presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, October 9, at 6:30 p.m. in the McCasland Ballroom of the McMahon Centennial Complex and is open to the public at no charge.

“We are thrilled to bring Todd Huston to Cameron University,” says Dr. Jennifer Pruchnicki, Director of Student Development. “While his first-hand experiences of overcoming a disability will be motivational and inspiring, his message of ‘being the best you can be’ applies to everyone.”

Huston is committed to inspiring others to be their best. With his journey of pain, determination and adventure, including his expedition to the highest peaks in all 50 United States, others are able to overcome their challenges. His story helps everyone realize they too can reach new heights of well-being, success and happiness. Huston envisions a world where there are no boundaries to the potential good a person can be or experience. His hope is that everyone can break free of the bonds of fear that hold them back from the power to do good for themselves, their loved ones and for the world.

A resident of Tulsa, Huston knows how to overcome incredible challenges. When his legs got caught in the propeller of a boat at age 14, his life was radically changed. He battled to keep his legs with numerous surgeries, but bone disease eventually forced him to have one leg amputated.

After becoming a licensed psychotherapist, he served as clinical director of the Amputee Resource Center in California and also worked in psychiatric hospitals for adults, adolescents and children. Huston used his professional skills and personal experiences to help patients achieve more in their lives. He also trained health-care professionals and authored articles in working with individuals coping with disabilities.

Then Huston did the unimaginable. To prove that you can overcome challenges, he completed a world record-setting Summit America expedition by climbing to the highest elevations of all 50 states in only 66 days 22 hours and 47 minutes, shattering the original record by 35 days.

His autobiography, “More than Mountains: The Todd Huston Story: One Leg, Fifty Mountains, an Unconquerable Faith,” was published in 1995.

Huston has been named to the U.S. Jaycees’ Ten Outstanding Young Americans and has been honored with the Henry Iba Award for Outstanding Citizen Athlete, the Class Act Award, The Power to Dream Achiever Award and the American Red Cross’s Everyday Hero Award. Full Story
