My wife and I have been a part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) program in the Minneapolis area for almost two years now. We usually hang out with our Little Brother every other weekend. When I started the program, I thought that I needed to teach him a crucial life lesson every time we saw him but I've learned that all your really need to do is show him new things and have a good time. We play video games (his favorites are Spore and Minecraft), go geocaching, play chess, go fishing, and anything else kids like doing. He told me that when he grows up, he wants to become a video game developer or make websites. I've actually introduced him to programming on the Xbox and we've created a few small games.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
