WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Courage for Life Foundation

As my brother continues to undergo cancer treatment, we are supporting worthy cancer foundations. This week we’re supporting the Courage for Life Foundation. Their mission is to provide life encouraging sporting experiences and community support for high school athletes with life threatening illnesses. Sadly, the organization’s founder, 18-year-old John Challis passed away a couple of weeks ago but his dream and legacy lives on through his foundation.

About Me

Name: Johnny Jet

Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States

I used to be afraid to fly (long story). Moved to California from Connecticut at 21-- that's when I conquered my fear. In college I started dating a bona fide princess from Hong Kong. She was accustomed to flying Biz Class. I had ONLY flown coach -- and I had never been overseas. When she invited me home, I couldn't let the opportunity slip by. I (okay, my dad) bought the seat next to her from a consolidator. I picked the right time to have my first out-of-coach experience. WOW! What a difference-- A nice phat seat, some hot towels, a little sorbet to clean the palate, non-stop food, beverages and movies. When I returned to the U.S. I felt like a new man. I started working as a college recruiter. While traveling my 26-state territory on a tight budget, I learned traveling in style on a budget was possible. I started a weekly newsletter and JohnnyJet.com to share my tips. Three months later USAToday made JohnnyJet.com website of the week and now it's my full time job.
