In this episode, Dallas Graham shares his inspiring story of how a friend's young son, Nathan, who died from a rare disease ignited a fire in him to make a difference in the lives of children like Nathan and their communities. The Red Fred Project was born out of Nathan's connection to Dallas, and many children like Nathan are now being seen as authors of their own stories!

About the Red Fred Project:
The Red Fred Project finds children living in extraordinary circumstances (rare diseases and life-threatening illnesses) and asks them the question: If you could write a book for the entire world to read, what would it be about? The stories they share are filled with humor, compassion and wisdom. The books they create together become a vehicle for these stories. They become a lasting voice, a tangible achievement for each child. As part of the proceeds from each book sold go to the family, or to a related cause chosen by the child, the books are also a way to help with financial difficulties. You see? The magic multiplies & lives on forever. You will be inspired by the talent and imagination of these children.
