Hello, My name is Brandon, and I recently moved to San Diego from Florida to launch a nonprofit in honor of my mom who I lost to cancer back in 2007. I am in not here, in any way, to advertise my foundation or seek donations. The fact is, I recently incorporated and received a small, separate sponsorship from Prilosec to do some controlled shark dives and other marine-related activities for locals impacted by cancer. Basically, after losing my mom, I decided to go on her dream trip to Australia and went shark diving during my life-embracing trip. It affected me so much, that I'm hoping to share my love of the oceans and support to others in similar situations. If you search for Heart of Travel, you can find more info about my story and foundation, but again I'm not here to promote either. This isn't about me. My first project is simply to send someone with cancer and a friend/relative in the San Diego or possibly LA area to the new Oceans Movie by Disney. This movie has been out a while, so it may only be showing for another week or so. You have no obligation whatsoever. I simply received a small sponsorship to do some good, and this is one way I'm trying to do so. Please let me know if you or anyone you know in San Diego or SoCal that may be interested. My thoughts and prayers are with anyone impacted by cancer. Brandon B.

Hello everyone, Best wishes and my thoughts/prayers to those impacted by cancer now or in the past. My mother passed away from lung cancer back in 2007, and I recently started a foundation in her memory. Basically, I want to start a trip-granting nonprofit for cancer patients/survivors. We sponsor once in a lifetime trips for them and a family member. The idea for this trip came when my mom passed before she could redeem her miles and points for her dream trip to Australia. I went in her absence and even when diving with great white sharks! I'm not much of one for self-promotion, I have entered this idea in a competition and need votes. I'm currently in 3rd place. Here are the instructions to vote. It only takes a second, and their website does not sell your contact info. 1. Click on link below to MY new website for The Miles of Miracles Foundation then the link at bottom of that homepage to vote for the foundation: http://www.milesofmiracles.com 2. This will take you to the Changemakers website, and my idea. You must first register. Just click join / log-in at top and fill in your info. You should get an email with a link to automatically log you in, or with your log-in info/password assigned. 3. Once logged in, just search "miles" in the search box (upper left), or find my profile under the "Competitions" tab at top of their page, then click "Globetrotting for Good/Conde Nast Challenge" then "Rate Entries". My idea is near the top of 2nd page of entries - "Miles of Miracles..." 4. *** Once you click on mine and are logged-in, you should get a thumbs-up voting button at top. (if it's a yellow box first, then either you're not logged or already voted). You should see the vote total change. Thank you so much for your vote and support. My best wishes to all of you. Brandon
