It's that time of year again. A time to reflect, give, share, and grow - to express gratitude.

In light of the giving season, we’re flipping the script! Instead of chatting with nonprofit thought leaders, we are highlighting the most touching stories of individuals who fiercely support nonprofits and their “why.”

Because without supporters, nonprofits couldn’t exist.

During the 12-day series, Maria will be exploring topics surrounding: hardships, perseverance, fundraising, social media, and the importance and value of online community.

On this episode, Maria is chatting with Kym Jolstad. As a pilates instructor, personal trainer, and nutrition coach - Kym was eager to join the push-up Challenge on Facebook in support of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Especially since she recently lost her mom to the disease and her father to multiple sclerosis.

Kym also created Kathie's Coffee after her mom was diagnosed. To date, she has been able to raise over $8,000 for Pancreatic Cancer Action Network through this effort.

Listen to Kym's story and you will surely be inspired by her selflessness and kind heart.
