It seems every time I “peel the onion” and meet another person engaged in a non-profit endeavour it leads to yet another person of the same persuasion.

Today I spent two hours with Zorica King learning the basics of Krav Maga. Wow, it was so awesome. I thought I was reasonably fit, but now I really know how much work I have to do to get into shape. Even though it’s only my first session I can already tell these combat

I was talking a senior real estate professional in Australia today, when I learnt he is also Chairman of a community group called Pilotlight (www.pilotlight.org.au) that raises money and gives to qualified charities.
