Leigh Anne Tuohy, the lead character played by Sandra Bullock in the movie “The Blind Side,” was the featured speaker yesterday at the ninth annual Mums and Mimosas luncheon.
Around 600 guests gathered in the Witte Museum to hear Tuohy’s speech while celebrating the work done by Good Samaritan Community Services.
Tuohy, who lives in Memphis, Tennessee, spoke about miracles and how it just takes one act of kindness to change someone’s life. Michael Oher, her son, “was deemed 100% valueless by society,” she said. When she turned the car around to talk to Michael for the first time, she decided she wanted to take him shopping.
