## **The Warrior Within: Turning Adversity into Advocacy**

Tim Chiarolanza does not chalk up overcoming his one percent chance of survival to a miracle. "I’m not a miracle…I was in a fight for my life, and I survived because of everything I had done up to that point.”  
**Now, he wants to help others do the same.**
