MESSAGE #432 THE MOST IMPORTANT BLOG ENTRY OF MY LIFE…(SO FAR)

For those of you that want to make a difference in the world…here’s your chance.

My birthday, October 26th is right around the corner and I know what you’re thinking…

“Will the Aston Martin arrive in time for Ed’s birthday?”

But seriously, folks, here’s what I’d like you to do for my birthday this year…

I want you to buy my book. I want your friends and family to buy my book. I want everyone at your office to buy my book. But I don’t want people to buy my book for me, because guess what?

I’m not going to see a penny of it!

For every book I sell on October 26th, 2008, I will donate one book to a child from the National Junior League of Trenton. The NJTL of Trenton provides educational, tennis and nutritional programs to under-privileged children in Trenton, NJ. I will personally sign, and hand-deliver the books to Dan Faber, the executive director of the program in time for the holidays.

So mark your calendars…October 26th at 9AM, tell everyone you know to buy my book on Amazon.com!… http://www.amazon.com/Game-Set-Life-Performance-Sports/dp/1419654756

Yeah, I’m talking to you…

Luigi Moriello, the soccer great in Naples, Italy…

Brooke Eastwood in Phoenix, Arizona…

Jake Myers in Belgium…

my 102 year old grandmother in the Bronx…

Richard Hall in Big Rapids, Michigan…

Nicole Arendt in Sydney, Australia…

Chris Kennedy in West Palm Beach, Florida…

Bob Emmons at UC-Davis…

and everyone else…

BEG, BORROW, but don’t steal. It’s only $15. You have 22 days to email this blog entry to everyone in your email contacts, tell all your friends on facebook, let everyone following you on twitter know what’s going on this October 26th.

And you know what? For those of you in the Princeton, NJ area…let’s make a party out of it…

Come to Amalfi’s Restaurant in Lawrenceville at 6pm on the 26th and I’ll have the Moriello family put out some great food (remember the vodka rigatoni and chicken francaise at my book signing?). Mamma mia! I’ll have my laptop there so if you don’t order earlier, you can order “Game. Set. Life.” online there.

I know MY most rewarding moments have been when I’ve helped others…here’s your chance.

“The human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live.”

-Ethel Percy Andrus

“Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.”

-Anthony Robbins
