"Everyone out there is raising awareness, but what are we DOING?

We need to be DOING awareness."

And hence #DoingAwareness was born!

what is

#DoingAwareness

I coined the term #DoingAwareness to get people excited and motivated to help others. It is digging deep and digging in. Awareness in action. It is getting your hands dirty. It is ANY act of kindness that aids a person fighting cancer or ANYONE with disabilities in need. Giving back will grant you the greatest joy you have ever experienced – I promise! Your good deeds will have more impact than you will ever know. When I do for others it reaffirms my purpose – to continue to pay forward all of the kindness I’ve been shown throughout my life’s challenges. Join me! The possibilities are endless!
