Actor/author Tom
Malloy didn’t wait for Hollywood to grant him any favors. He writes,
produces, and acts in his own projects, taking time along the way to tour the
United States as a motivational speaker whose messages of hard work, initiative,
and self-confidence have reached more than 100,000 students. He joins Adrian Paul and Ethan Dettenmaier
today to talk about the causes and charities he holds most dear, including Roses From Linda, which
covers travel costs so that family members can be with their ailing loved ones.
The resulting discussion about chronic illnesses among children reminds
correspondent John Bierly
of the pediatric cancer research funded by Alex’s Lemonade Stand
and the work done by Aaron’s
Apple, which helps families keep up with the massive monthly medical bills
that accompany chronic conditions.
And finally we learn about this
week’s Hero, 13-year-old Rachel
Wheeler, who stood on a chair when she was 9 and proudly declared her
commitment to the children of Haiti. The first $250,000 she raised rebuilt a
school and created a village of 27 earthquake-proof homes. She’s currently well
on her way to raising funds to build homes for an additional 20 families!
