Drew, a 23 year old Navy Veteran, began a 3,600 mile journey in March from Oceanside, CA to New York, NY for a woman he had never met. Liz Estes, now 21, was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 13 years old and recently, after having been declared as in remission and finding out she was pregnant with her second child, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Having never met Liz, Drew decided to take action for her and her family whose story had touched his heart. Sporting a T-Shirt reading "Walk For Liz" and pushing a cart of supplies, Drew Bordeaux has currently made it as far as Pittsburgh, PA in his efforts to raise money for this special family. Upon passing through northeast Ohio, the Akron Beacon Journal published an article on his journey (read here http://bit.ly/11C1a6V ) and this article was soon read by our President here at Polar, Bill. Touched by Drew's random act of kindness, Bill has offered to donate a cooling vest to Liz for her MS and Drew for his journey.
Drew's story is inspiring and reminds us of the importance of giving to others, even those you have never met. Pretty amazing huh?
