Tell Us Your Good Deed

I once smiled (huge) at a sad looking man with both legs missing in a wheelchair riding down the street. He quickly glanced at me and I smiled and waved at this complete stranger. He looked away after that glance and looked back when he realized I did that. His sad face turned into a happy face filled with a smile. I wondered if this crippled man ever got and gets people (even random) to acknowledge him with that much kindness and as simple as a smile.

Why are you participating?

Everyone is unique and filled with mystery. Stereotypes don't define us, well shouldn't. Everyone is weird in their own way and we should embrace our differences.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I spend countless hours volunteering at the Children Specialized Hospital and have planned/participated in many projects and fundraisers that go to helping the children in care. Whether you know it or not the hospital will never turn away a patient because of lack of funds, and I am happy to say that I have had a hand in helping those kids by not only raising money but by putting a smile on their faces. It is a organization that is near and dear to my heart.

Why are you participating?

I am participating in the No Evil Project because we have all been judged on throughout our lives. I am more than the athlete, I am the intellect. I am more than Polish, but Irish and Italian as well. I am short, but don't under estimate me. We are more than what you see.
