Dean Raasch
What would your life be like, today, if your mother died when you were a child? How would you feel each time you saw a mother interacting with her children? Would you feel 'different'? Like the odd man out? Would your feelings be different if the mother was happy or angry?
What if when you were a teenager, and an all-around star athlete on the school track team, you were told you had leukemia, a type of cancer that had a survival rate of 15%, or less? What thoughts would race through your head? Whose shoulder would you want to lean on, cry on? Who would be steadfast at your side during cancer treatments that had absolutely no absolutes?
A Champion of Life...Dean Raasch, now a full grown adult, can tell you exactly what feelings might race through the heart and mind of a 10 year-old child coping with loss of a parent, and the confused mental state of a tall 19 year-old facing probable death. But, he can also tell you that any challenges presented to you in life can be overcome! He believes that people of all ages are naturally resilient, survivors of the big and small things that can happen in life.
Dean has proven to be one of the naturally gifted motivational and inspirational speakers and a highly skilled storyteller; capturing the hearts and minds of anyone and everyone who hears him speak! Throughout his uplifting presentations, you will catch the audience listening intently, applauding earnestly, tearing up, laughing, and often impulsively feeling a need at the end to hug and help someone, and do! In great numbers!
Dean is also the author of "Always Here", a well-written storybook for children that has touched the hearts of children and adults alike! A surprise proof of life after death ending reminds us that we are not alone when dealing with death and hardships.
A member of the National Speakers Association and a featured speaker for the Breast Cancer Family Foundation, Dean's life message inspires us to lead with your hearts, to reach out to help others in big and small ways—in our day-to-day lives. His motivational presentations are appropriate to audiences of all sizes: corporate events, hospitals, colleges/universities, high schools, middle schools, churches, professional associations, retreats, seminars, conferences, book stores, hospice organizations, youth camps, scouting camps, psychotherapist events, grief counseling programs, and more.
