"The best time to do the things you want to do is now." --Megan, diagnosed with leukemia at 17
What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?
Four college-age friends wrote a list of 100 things they wanted to experience before they died -- and took off in a Winnebago to do them. Along the way they asked other people, "what do you want to do before you die?" For each item they accomplished on their own list, they helped a stranger accomplish their own dream. They helped a lonely man in San Francisco cope with a terminal illness by brightening his modest apartment with plants, paintings, and a new bed. They taught break-dancing to a woman in Idaho, and bought computers for an in-need school in Compton, CA. They discovered that helping someone else's dream come true was far more satisfying than accomplishing their own goals. Now they are inspiring others with a new series on MTV! This inspiring interview shares more.
