It’s amazing being around people who care deeply about a cause. Whatever the cause may be, the passion is infectious. I am a rookie in this world of philanthropy.

I do this to myself to test my heart and willpower...

Of these friends, I’d like to take a minute to say thank you to Todd and Kyle. They have been a strong force behind the Papa Didos Organization.
