Tennessee man who survived lightning strike turns to life of giving

Richard Rogers endured his first tragedy as a 23 year old, when his father took his own life. Years later, Rogers nearly died after being struck by lightning. His second chance at life propelled him into a life of giving. Now he runs a successful stove company and gives away grant money through his Just One More Foundation.
