I’m proud to say that Oprah Winfrey’s Live Your Best Life charity walk has been a huge SUCCESS! Share Our Strength, the charity “H. Luiz Presents…” has been affiliated with since the begining of The Blog, has raised over $60,000.00 for the No Kid Hungry campaign. We could not have done it with all you supporters.
Three top fundraisers were “quoted” on Share Our Strength’s website: Michele Mudrick, Carol C., and Yours truly, H. Luiz Martinez. Marla Lowe was the top supporter, raising over $10,000.00 for the cause. Click here to see Our quotes at Share Our Strength’s website
In addition to all those that raised funds and all those that supported Share Our Strength with donations, we would like to thank Food Network’s Celebrity Chef Aaron “Big Daddy’s House” McCargo, Jr. Big Daddy is the new spokesperson for Share Our Strength’s Great American Dine Out. Visit Big Daddy Aaron at http://www.aaronmccargo.com/ We would also like to thank Chef Mindy Segal, Owner of HotChocolate Restaurant and Dessert Bar. Mindy is the Chicago Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation Culinary Council Member and a Chicago Taste Committee Member. Visit Mindy at http://www.hotchocolatechicago.com

“I’m a strong believer that every child (especially in the U.S.) should never go hungry and we ALL must do what we can to end this travesty. My child [Jonathan] and I used to make full lunches (sandwiches, water, fruit) and give them to the hungry people in the communities of Jersey City, NJ. Advocacy to end hunger is something we have been doing as a family for years.” - H. Luiz Martinez
On behalf of the (less hungry) Kids of the No Kid Hungry campaign, THANK YOU!!-THANK YOU!!-THANK YOU!!

@HHP, Thank You! Can’t do it without you (and your suppport!)
Triple Love You!!
it’s so great that you’ve been recognized for all the hard work you do to help others (haha “you’re such a do-gooder”). I know you don’t do it for the praise and recognition (which makes it even more honorable), but it feels good to know that others appreciate what you’re doing. I had alot of fun too, walking for “share our strength” and am so happy I went even though I was a little under the weather. Thank you for everything Papi, I get my sense of advocacy from you!
