This has absolutely nothing to do with home decor or design but it has everything to do with Living! I am so proud of my big brother, Frank. A little over a year ago we had a long conversation about giving back and making a difference. Frank has always been an avid cyclist and when his good friend was diagnosed with leukemia he took to the hills and started bike racing (you know those crazy 100 mile races!) in his honor to raise funds for leukemia research. That certainly would be more than enough but Frank has taken his passion for helping others one step further by creating a foundation at his company. http://www.itronemployeefoundation.org
It's a simple idea and a model any company could follow that will provide much needed assistance to any employee who may face unforeseeable financial difficulties. I am so proud of him for making it come to fruition! He certainly didn't have to...but he chose to. We all have the ability to make the world a better place. I applaud you Frank for setting such a great example of that!
