What defines success?  Is it your job, your accomplishments.  What happens when that's gone?  Who are you, what is your identity? I'm not one for sports cliches or putting people on this platform for their success or celebrity.  I want real stories that we can all identify with and learn from.  Rennie Curran is not and will not be defined by just what he did on the football field.  His personal and professional challenges are something that all of us can identify with and his mission moving forward something that will inspire and change lives.
