Forrest Willett knows poverty and despair.
He also knows people can rise above them.
The former Simcoe County resident grew up poor, with five siblings and a single parent trying to make ends meet and keep food on the table.
A 2002 car crash left him with a potentially debilitating brain injury that could have altered his life — for the worse — forever.
Instead, he persevered and is now a bestselling author and motivational speaker travelling the world.
