Light of the Moon.

A single raindrop can raise the ocean; One person can make a difference.
Patrick Henry Hughes is a remarkable man, born without eyes, or the ability to fully straighten his arms and legs. He describes his disability as not one at all, and overcame it through music.
In the darkness of his eyes, and the sweetness of his music, when Patrick Hughes plays it is the sound of promise. Patrick joined the Louisville Marching band, playing the trumped while his father pushed him in his wheelchair. His commitment and heart attracted crowds and the media throughout his marching band season; he became an inspiration to those around him. When they hear him play, they don't see a boy in a wheelchair, they see the never ending possibilities and a boy with no obstacles, and what we can accomplish if we want to make a difference.
Today, Partick travels the nation with his dad, sharing his story of overcoming, breaking barriers, seeing what's on the inside, and achiving more then you though possible.
'Sure, we're not going to play baseball together, but we can play music together- Patrick's able bodied father.
