Remarkable athlete helps raise money for high school scholarships
Michael Oher visits Valor Christian School
Michael Oher (pictured above right), tackle for the Baltimore Ravens and inspiration for the movie “The Blind Side,” participated in an interview to help raise funds for the scholarship program at Valor Christian School, located in Highlands Ranch.
During the interview, Oher discussed his journey from the projects in Memphis to his life at the private school that provided him the opportunity to turn his life around, and the generous support he received from the family who took him into their home and made him part of their family.
“As I look back, it’s crazy how I got here,” said Oher. “But it didn’t seem tough at the time. I just lived day to day, did the best I could.”
The inspirational message shared during the interview time encouraged participants to look inside of themselves and see what they are willing to give for someone less fortunate.
