“I only have one goal in life and that is to make sure this world is not the same place I welcomed at birth as it is when I salute it at death. I say you were never alive until you are remembered. Save a Mother is my first step towards this goal. How can one deny the value of a life that touches millions? My success is about more than just me…it’s about the lives I will touch. So let us take hands and come together…to leap and bound towards the highest of goals…let us even fall and make mistakes…but when we stand up once again, aback from the journey we have traveled, let us marvel in triumph at the work of our very own caring hands.”
