People ask me a lot, when did I know I wanted to have a foundation and how long has Wade’s World Foundation existed? My answer to them is…. almost 20 years ago, in my mind. I remember at 7 years old watching the news and seeing a celebrity visit a school and so many kids were happy to see them. How life changing that visit must have been.
