Jason Harper is a nationwide speaker and author who has spearheaded books, events, conferences and entire organizations from his passionate vision of what could be. Harper was struck by the profound need for inner city school children to have access to affordable healthcare. He embarked on a fundraising event that would involve him running 100 miles in one day to raise money and awareness and it just so happened to be 112 degrees the day he ran. Vision Launchers launched a website that posted up to the minute status updates, photos and videos of his journey. Vision Launchers also was there to capture the entire journey with over 5000 professional photos that were provided to media, publishers and fans. Harper finished the race, hundreds of thousands of dollars were raised and hundreds of children were given healthcare for the first time. The outflow of this event has led to a new organization called Be Change that helps serve many of the other needs within inner city schools.
