I’m speaking about Rob Dunphy, the Phillie Phanatic tattoo man, who turned an in a single day sensation after showing on the Eagles/Packers broadcast final Thursday night time. You’ll have realized that a few of his tattoos stay unfinished, and an area artist supplied him a deal, explaining that he would end that work at no cost if Rob may increase cash for charity.
Rob turned an web sensation in minutes attributable to an unfinished mosaic of Philadelphia tattoos on his chest. An area tattoo artist, Mike Nemo, reached out to him with a proposition that modified Rob ceaselessly. Mike’s proposal was easy; if Rob may increase $10,000, and donate it to a charity of his alternative, he would end the tattoos for FREE. To the shock of many, Rob did simply that, and he completed it in 48 HOURS!! Rob selected Storm the Heavens Fund as his charity of alternative. On the time the choice was made he thought it was a good suggestion as a result of it was an area charity and lots of of his neighborhood associates know the Carroll-Stendardo household. As Rob bought nearer and nearer to his aim he knew his physique was going to vary on the skin as his tattoos could be accomplished, nonetheless, he had no concept how a lot it might change him, right down to the very core of his coronary heart & soul. This expertise has given him the chance to be taught extra concerning the charity, it has opened his eyes to the necessity to do extra, to be “higher”. He, like these at Storm the Heavens, believes “WE MUST DO BETTER”.
Rob is now taking this quarter-hour of fame and turning it into one thing larger than a phanatical sports activities fan, larger than any tattoo, and larger than one thing he ever thought he would have the respect of being part of. His fundraising aim has modified, his primary focus has turned to consciousness, spreading consciousness for the necessity to do extra, the necessity to do higher for our kids as a result of there isn’t a trigger larger than the struggle for our kids’s proper to develop as much as be adults. Rob has elevated his financial aim to $100,000, and he hopes to achieve this aim by Christmas. He has determined to do that upon studying that kids identified with DIPG at present (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma), are given the identical normal therapies and face the identical just about 0% survival fee as astronaut Neil Armstrong’s 2-year-old daughter, Karen, confronted when she was identified and died from the identical illness in 1962. Nearly 60 years and we now have accomplished nothing to save lots of our kids. WE MUST DO BETTER! All funds raised will go on to desperately wanted analysis funded by Storm the Heavens Fund.
