Against the Odds

Megastar singer Celine Dion met Milagros and 11 other special children as part of the book An Incredible Journey with Celine Dion: 12 Heroes Among Us. The children's stories were compiled by correspondents from Readers Digest, and the proceeds will benefit children all over the world.
