Dave’s a simple guy with a passion for people.

His life creed: Inspire hope. Spread love. Live fulfilled.

Moved by the passing of his friend Sharon from a relapse of cancer (4/27/86 – 1/8/11), Dave set out to change the world through the simplest of actions… a hug.

Now, Dave’s on a journey to set a new Guinness World Record for “The Most Hugs in 24 Hours” and grant wishes to children who’s cancer has relapsed.

“My goal in life is to help others recognize their potential and apply it to make a positive difference in the world around them… What I’ve learned is to start with what you have (right now) on account the time, talent, resources and relationships you’ve been given. Live them to the fullest and you will experience how the simplest of actions, done with authenticity, can enrich the lives of those around you.” ~ David Parsons III (aka Dave)
