#6: Marc's Story
Marc's story has to reflect one of the biggest acts of selfless living I have ever heard of. He could have lived the most luxurious, stress-free, debt free life in an instant; yet he gave it all away in regards to the needs of others. Truly amazing. He got to experience, first hand, the devastation of AIDS in Thailand, when a man died, who was under Marc's care, and all Marc could do was hold his hand and watch him die. I think this was his personal turning point, and when he started to have second thoughts on what he should and shouldn't do with his life. The party that he was invited to by the boy from the Klong Toey slums also helped influence his decision, I feel. It's still amazing to me how he had the complete choice between fortune, and a less fortunate life, and he chose the less fortunate life, just to help others. Without Marc's crucial decision, and strong influence on his brother, Craig, I don't think that Me to We would have evolved into what it has today.
