Bob DePasquale's mission is to make the world a better place by encouraging people to find the blessings in tragedy and use their gifts to help others.
When Bob was 18, he moved to NY for college.  While in football training camp, and just 5 days before September 11th, 2001, he was diagnosed with cancer.  In a very short period of time, his young, healthy life was turned upside down.
You will have to listen to the conversation to hear how Bob applies the valleys of life to reach the peaks of the mountains, some already scaled while some yet are to be challenged and the lives we all can have an impact on if only we try.
Cancer and how he beat it.
Tim, the car, and 9/11.
Why give so much?
And just what heck is Web 1, 2 + 3?
