"The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away."

—Joy J. Golliver

Heart of Gold

For Olympic speed skater Joey Cheek, it was a magical moment — winning a gold medal — that turned into something even more meaningful. "After years of other people sacrificing so that I can be the best in the world, I feel that it is imperative to give something to someone who's less fortunate than myself." Cheek used his time in the limelight to channel support for kids in war-torn countries, and ended up raising $300,000 in a week!
