Ben Weymiller Rocks!

Imagine setting a pretty lofty goal for your self: say raising $20,000 for charity. Now imagine not only reaching the goal, but exceeding it by 400%

Wow!

That's what Ben Weymiller did.



Young Ben has a niece who had to spend some time in the hospital, and while visiting, Ben learned that the hospital didn’t have a rocking chair for every room. Ben thought that was a real problem since as he says in his firstgiving.com page: “I think that every sick baby deserves to be rocked by their parents.”

So, Ben set his mind to raising money so the hospital could by rocking chairs.

Do you know an inspiring young person?

We’d love to hear about him or her. It’s easy to toot a horn for your inspiring kid. Post a blog on my site www.KidsWhoInspire.com, where you can submit a story for inclusion in my book “Kids Who Inspire,” or email me at gordon@kidswhoinspire.com
