The most buzzed-about moment of the evening came as TRAVIS, three years post-stroke, sang "Amazing Grace" at the podium. TRAVIS has been unable to speak, but for this special occasion wanted to share his feelings of gratitude. It was an emotional highlight, and video of the moment has already gone viral across social media platforms.
