“We were entertained, captivated and ‘held hostage’ by your discourse. This was a special program like none I have seen nor heard anywhere. I can think of no higher calling than to reach into the lives of young people…and positively and dramatically affect their choices and mean it…to live it.”

Linda Smith, former Washington State Senator

 
“I think Mike reached out to a lot of people today. I think it was a real good assembly, and it helped me know feelings of myself, others, drugs, and suicide."
