The idea of a simple way to try to make a big difference began during a recreational run on a sunny autumn afternoon in New England. For many, including me, it’s on those runs that one can truly relax and let your thoughts lead you to the right destination. That’s how I, in the midst of a successful entrepeneurial and business career, realized it was the time to focus my energies and enthusiasm on a plan to do my part, if I can, to contribute some measure of significant and lasting contribution to society. I’ve always enjoyed exercise, fitness and the challenges inherent in team and individul athletic activity, so I decided to combine my enjoyment of running with the goal of making a real difference. This led directly to the 50 fives by fifty-five concept. With 50 fives, I am traversing the country and trying to do some good !
