John O’Leary survived burns to his entire body, and will tell his story of survival and redemption Thursday to the United Way of Hall County. O’Leary will be the guest speaker at the United Way’s 2014 campaign kickoff breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Thursday at the Brenau University Downtown Center. “I think John’s message is one that says we all do make a difference,” said Jackie Wallace, president of United Way of Hall County.
