    • CHRISTOPHER DUFFLEY

      When he was born, Christopher weighed 1 lb 12 oz, due to drug exposure.  After five months in the NICU, he was placed in foster care.  His biological aunt located him, brought him to NH and later adopted him into her family of 6.  A new life lay ahead and his challenges of total blindness and severe delays would forever be a part his future. 
      Sometimes we lose sight of our potential and the potential of those around us. 

      Christopher removes the limitation blinders of his audiences through story, laughter, and song.  He teaches us, through his own life experiences, what it means to be unlimited and to have a mission possible attitude.
