Patrick Henry Hughes

Upon Patrick Henry Hughes birth the doctors noticed physical anomalies. He was diagnosed as bilateral anophthalmia with pterygium syondrome and congenital bilateral hip dysplasia.

In short he was born without eyes and he needs to live in a weel-chair, because his legs don't have the strength to hold him and he can't stretch his arms.

At the age of nine months he started to play piano and studied piano and had trumpet classes.

He joined the Louisville marching band playing trumpet while his father pushed him in his wheelchair.

At November 2007 he and his family received a complete home renovation from the show Extreme Makeover:Home Edition

He launched a book, "I am Potential:Eight lessons on Living, Loving and Reaching your dreams" and two music albums.


“At the end of the day, can you look back and say to yourself, "Today, my mother would be proud of me because I gave it all I had"? If you can, you will have had a very good day. And if you can do this every day, you will have a very good life.”
