In the middle of summer in 2003, Dan Bigley was wrapping up a stellar day of salmon fishing on Alaska’s Russian River when a bear charged him out of the blue and radically changed his life forever. Blind and disfigured, Dan faced a long, painful journey of healing, and his story of survival transcends all expectations as each layer is revealed

Come to Kachemak Bay Campus on Saturday, October 5 at 6:00 pm and hear about Dan’s incredible journey from the brink of death to rebuilding a life that includes a master’s degree in social work from the University of Alaska-Anchorage, becoming president and CEO of Denali Family Services, and creating a beautiful family of his own. This is a free event with limited seating so arrive early. Doors open at 5:30 pm. Book signing to follow. For more information call (907) 235-1674.

This event is made possible in partnership with and through the generosity of South Peninsula Hospital Health and Wellness, The Homer Foundation, the Homer Rotary Club, and the Driftwood Inn.
