Chris walked unaided, without any crutches or supports, for the first time during the Make-A-Wish concert on campus April 20. Now, he hopes to organize a tour to visit U.S. high schools to discuss his effort to overcome cerebral palsy, then appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Harpo Productions, Inc., can provide financial assistance to potential show guests whose stories are particularly compelling. You can help Chris in his effort by e-mailing Harpo Productions and telling them you support Chris’ efforts.
