100,000 Hugs and a Flight Around the World
by Bill ~ February 4th, 2009. Filed under: Flying Stories.While attending an Internet marketing conference in Las Vegas last month I was hanging out with a flying buddy and we met an interesting lady with a unique flying mission.
Pictured in the photo to the right is my friend, Bob, and Gail Lynne Goodwin who plans to fly around the world with her husband (he is an accomplished pilot) to deliver 100,000 Hugs and raise $1 million for worthy causes.
The global hug tour will take off May 10, 2009 and land mid-September 2009. Fifty stops around the world are planned and at each stop at least 2,000 hugs will be shared. They’ll be launching from Boulder Colorado and heading west.
For more information visit Bob’s Joy of Aviation website and his Interview with the Goodwyns. To make a donation for a “HUG” visit the Global Hug Tour webiste. 
PS: I already got my “HUG” directly from Lynne and am happy to help promote this initiative.
