It started with
a dollar in a can.

As a professional triathlete in the late 1980’s, I spent time each week visiting kids with HIV at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. After my first visit, I set a coffee can next to my front door. Every time I left for a workout or race, I added a dollar. I taped a little sign on the can that read, “Because You Can” to remind me each day just how lucky I really was. Every time the can got to $50, I’d use the money to pay for a cake and ice cream party for the kids on the ward.
I’ve never forgotten those kids, most of whom didn’t survive, and I’ve never forgotten how much that one dollar meant to all of us.
That’s how it started. How it continues is up to you. Because you can.
