Gage Hankins, survivor of Aurora shooting, joins Peter Reitzes to discuss the tragedy in Colorado, the 2012 annual convention of FRIENDS: The National Association of Young People Who Stutter and how he has greatly benefited from being part of the stuttering self help community.
When 18-year-old GAGE HANKINS was shot in the arm during the Aurora massacre, he refused medical attention until more seriously injured victims could be treated first.

It’s a potent 20 minutes, well worth your listen.
