In honor of my 30th birthday I hope to raise $1,988 (the year I was born) for Save the Children. When I volunteered in Romania my team lead instilled in me a strong value for children. His explaination that without children there is no future, has stuck with me through the years. I hold a place in my heart for Save this Children because of their commitment to bringing science and innovation to their focus on children in the US and around the world.
