The Lesson: What if donanting to charity was as simple as walking your dog? Oftentimes when things become easier, more people can participate, but it also drives greater enthusiasm among those already impassioned.
Notable Excerpt: “One member didn’t just go across the United States, but he started in Key West and went to the northwest tip of Washington state, diagonally, 4,5000 miles and he was 11-years-old. When you have things like that, and not just people doing incredible feats, but people who walk their dogs every day and tell me what that means to them, we’ve had people lose over 100 pounds, we have parents who do it with their kids… it’s been an incredible honor to be a part of this community”
