A plane crash in 1968 consumed half of Mickeys body in third-degree burns. Mickey entered heaven and was given a mission to bring a life giving message of hope back to Earth. Since his second chance at life, Mickey has been a public speaker nationally and internationally. In addition to his personal appearances, his dramatic life story and additional messages of hope have been broadcast on TV and radio. In August 2010, a portion of Mickey s testimony was part of a two-hour special on the highly acclaimed History Channel. It has been broadcast multiple times in the U.S. and other nations with overdubs in their own languages. For over three decades, his message of encouragement and hope has continued to change lives and inspire people of all ages.
