I was bitten by a neighborhood dog when I was seven years old. The dog bit me in the face and throat and I had to have plastic surgery. After seeing a psychologist for a while, my mom and I decided to do something to help other children.

We started a dog bite prevention program with Nancy Skeffington and her dog, Casey. I like to help other kids so they don't get bitten by a dog.

I want to keep doing this for the rest of my life.

Recently I won a "Brick Award." Please vote for me in the Gold Brick Awards:

The BRICK Awards are the award for young world-changers, and it’s the “only award show for young people making our world better.”  CNN calls it “the Oscars of youth service awards.”  It is named for young people building a better world—brick by brick…

The BRICK Awards will be held April 10th at a theater in Times Square (NYC). The Ceremony will have a celebrity host, live musical performances and celebrity guests. There will be a nationally televised awards show that will air on theCW, April 12th, at 8pm CST, (9pm EST) at which time four Golden BRICK Award winners will be announced.
