“Dudley has achieved more, seen more and enjoyed more in his first 37 years than many of us will manage in our lifetimes. And this in spite of having to work his way around many obstacles with which the rest of us are not burdened. But it is his self awareness, his generosity of spirit and his extraordinary faith which shine through in his story. And it is a reminder that the love and support of family, friends and community can make anything possible.”
