Richard Rogers gets just one more chance at life and makes a vow to give back
November 11, 1995.
Richard Rogers was on a hunting trip with his good friend, Mike Barry, and Mike’s two young sons, Brandon, 10, and Jason, 14.
That night a freak storm hit the Tennessee mountain top while they were asleep.
It’s a night none of them will ever forget.
The lightning ran traveled through Richard’s body, literally setting him on fire.
For some time, his heart stopped and Richard can remember levitating above his body.
Hear Richard and the Barry brothers tell the story in their own words.
Richard shares how he had to fight for this second chance at life and the vow that led me to create Just One More Foundation.
