[Images of Lex as a young boy]

Lex: I asked myself - what's happening? Everything was just so ok earlier this afternoon. When I wake up, will I be blind?

[Video of Lex giving a presentation to Ace Hardware associates]

[Words: “At 8 years old Lex Gillette lost his sight. By 19, he was a silver medalist Paralympic athlete.”]

[Video of Lex receiving a silver medal]

Lex: Had I accepted at eight years old that blindness would be the end of my story, I would have never achieved four Paralympic medals or a world record.

[Various videos of Lex training at the Olympic Training Center]

Lex: Determination is really huge. It's like fuel for your car. You need it in order to run, in order to keep pushing forward and succeeding. Get up and go for it. You have the plan, put it into action. Get that contract or contact that client. Pursue those prospects. Take action.

[Videos of various attendees at Lex’s presentation]

Person 1: “So inspiring and sent us back with so much energy and passion.”

Person 2: “Having that vision to fly and soar and that really hit me.

Person 3: “Because if you believe it, it will become the reality.”

[Video the Lex jumping in a sandpit]

I want people to see as much as I can. Losing my sight at 8 years old - that was the biggest blessing because now I wasn't imprisoned by what is. I gained a vision of what could be.

[Various images of Lex]

[Quote: “We are still talking about him” - SunTrust]

[Quote: “A truly remarkable speech” – Ashford University]

Lex sings:

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.

All this time, you were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird fly, into the light of the dark black night.
