This segment from the 2017 Young Heroes Award Ceremony features a profile of honoree Reagan Hill of Mandeville, a senior at St. Paul’s School in Covington. When he was 14, Hill survived a diving accident that initially left him paralyzed. After walking out of the hospital six weeks later, he founded “Reagan’s Peanut Butter Project” and has raised over $12,000 to help individuals in a three-state region who have suffered injuries or are dealing with cancer. His profile includes interviews with: Brother Ray Bulliard, the president of St. Paul’s School; Jenny Charbonnet and Mark Richards, teachers; and Sean Noel, a friend and former Young Hero.
