All-In Person of the Weekend:
Alonzo Mourning, former NBA star for the Miami Heat stopped busy Miami traffic Friday (March 25, 2011). He jumped out of his SUV, stood in the road and stopped traffic, while a wheelchair-bound pedestrian made it to the median. After making sure the citizen was safe, Mourning headed to his SUV to the sound of cheering fans! Way to go Alonzo!
All-Out Person of the Weekend:
Also on Friday, it was reported that Ina Garten, the Food
Network's
"Barefoot Contessa" turned down a request from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She was contacted about a six-year-old boy suffering from leukemia who wanted to cook with her, and she denied the request. Apparently her reps said something to the effect of her being unable to meet every person who wants to meet her.
A Business Insider story quotes Garten's rep saying,"despite her demanding schedule, [Ina] participates and helps as many organizations as she can throughout the year, helping
children and adults like Enzo with life threatening and compromising illnesses."
Sure, she is busy! But, is this really about being busy? Or, is is about being generous, kind, and humble?
Don't worry about the little boy. He's decided to swim with dolphins and is already taking the necessary lessons to make that wish come true.
