Irene is a very caring individual who puts the organization's main fundraiser's success in the forefront. She wants to make sure she can make a difference to those children who need it so desperately. In the process, Irene always shares her home and has dinners ready for her all-volunteer staff. She is truly wonderful. http://www.sharesome.org/recipients/ Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:32:16 +0000 Jon never served in the military, yet for 4 years he has volunteered thousands of hours to support our troops (over 20,000 care packages) organizing Freedom Walks to remember 9/11 and our troops, and taking care of the families they leave behind. He has rallied a state, not just a community, in support of our troops, donating auto and home repairs, financial contributions and spiritual support throughout the community. He is an amazing man with a heart that is never-ending. His work, his passion makes a difference in the lives of so many!!! http://www.sharesome.org/recipients/october/2007/ Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:48:42 +0000 Brett started a pediatric therapy clinic to serve children with special needs in Alpharetta, GA. He puts his heart, his soul and countless hours into providing the best therapy services these children need, but insurance companies continue to deny services to families in desperate need of help. Brett is an occupational therapist who has been treating children with disabilities for almost 10 years, and it is his life's passion to help families in his communities, so he made it his mission this year to start the Kiddos Clubhouse Foundation to help these families find the resources needed to pay for therapy. http://www.sharesome.org/recipients/october/2007/
Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:51:24 +0000 Despite facing an incredibly difficult health challenge, Jen Linn shared her time, passion and positive energy to improve the lives of others. At the age of 33, Jen was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. While undergoing 3 major surgeries and countless doses of chemotherapy, Jen created Spin4Survival.org to raise money for research on cancer types which are extremely deadly, but don't get the funding they desperately require. The First Annual Spin4Survival was an inspiring day that raised $200,000. Jen is now sharing her time and energy to make the Second Annual Spin4Survival in January 2008 bigger and better. http://www.sharesome.org/recipients/december/2007/
