Leadership Starts With Giving!

What a beautiful day! I just finished speaking and Joy finished volunteering at the American Cancer Society's (ACS) Making Strides Against Beast Cancer Event in Norfolk, VA. With over six thousand participants (including cancer survivors), the American Cancer Society was able to raise $350,000 to fight beast cancer and provide services to those in need.

The participants were excited and my job was to keep them excited and motivate them to get involved in other events throughout the year. You see, cancer won't wait to our next event! As I spoke to a sea of faces, I could feel the positive energy in the crowd knowing that they had made a difference. And you can too!

Please take the time to go to http://www.cancer.org and read about the wonderful work ACS is doing everyday to help your families (possible your mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, etc), your friends, and your community members beat this terrible disease. I challenge each person reading this post to give your time and/or money so that possibly someone you know and love can beat this disease.

Go to http://www.cancer.org today and make a difference!
