8 Wishes

I came across this post, on Make it Great, an informative and inspirational blog by my friend Phil Gerbyshak.
Here is his post...

If you haven't heard about Paul Sanchez yet, you should really check him out at 8 Wishes.com. I spent 30 minutes today chatting with Paul and learned a bit more about this excellent, and very worthwhile project.

A bit of an overview of Paul's 8 wishes project:
Paul has 8 wishes he wants to achieve, and he wants to do it in only 30 days. His self-imposed deadline is January 10th, 2007.

Here's what Paul intends to do:

1) Raise $1 million dollars for children with learning disabilities and dyslexia.
2) Get 100 million views
3) Be interviewed by Oprah
4) Interview Paul Orfelea
5) Interview Sir Richard Branson
6) Interview Charles Schwab
7) Be on 21 top talk shows
8) and he wants to do it all in 30 days.

- Please Visit 8 Wishes.com and see what you can do to help grant his 8 Wishes, for a great cause! Thanks!

    Matt,
    Watched the video and went to the site. Now this is love in action. This is what is happening in our world today. Let's continue to make others aware of the people out there who give of themselves.

    Thank You

    It's good to hear about someone aiming to help those with learning difficulties. These are people who get too little help and understanding.
