Why are you participating?

I believe the world needs to recreate itself... too much anger out there and it's only getting worse.

I have hosted a non-profit fundraiser to raise money for the PMC, Dana Farber and cancer research. I have done this for the last three years.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because I am a pacifist and I honestly believe that if you are kind to others good things and happiness will come to you.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

When I was in the hospital, I met a little girl with ALL and kind of in a bad mental state about being sick. Every day we hung out and every day I talked to her to make her smile. To help her be positive and get better

Why are you participating?

Because if everyone just showed the next person a littler more respect and showed a little bit more love, maybe there'd be a little more peace in the world.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I have tried really hard to give back to other cancer survivors. I have volunteered to mentor newly diagnosed people, help people move past their treatment and become healthy and strong through exercise and support, just mainly become a resource for them and do what I can to make their experience while dealing with cancer a little bit easier.

Why are you participating?

Some labels are positive and bring about inspiration and support to people while other labels are very negative and hinder people. I want to be a part of this to show that everyone should be seen for every part of themselves not just what is on the surface.
