Our ninth Pay it Forward Grant
goes to the Honor Flight Network. Honor Flight transports WWII veterans for FREE to
visit the memorial built in their honor. For some, this may be the last long-range trip they ever take. The
Honor Flight program was put together to offer these brave veterans one last chance to see the memorial built in their honor.

I learned about Honor Flight from Tom Caperton, who wrote,
My proposal is this.....if Cheap Therapy will consider this as part of the "Pay It Forward" grant, I will match any
amount you are willing to give. I realize this is a "Pay It Backward" proposal, but if any generation of brave
men and women ever "paid it forward", the veterans of WWII were that group of people. Without them, we would not
be even considering the options we have for living our everyday lives.
I couldn't agree more. So on behalf of Cheap Therapy and Tom,
I'm honored to help honor these heroes via Honor Flight.
The winners of Cheap Therapy Pay it Forward grants will receive
$500 with only two thin strings attached ~ (1) WHEN IT WORKS BEST FOR YOU,
please, Pay it Forward to someone else and (2) Please, let me hear from you when you do Pay
it Forward.
The discernment process of choosing each winner is profound, powerful and difficult.
Thanks in advance, for understanding this. And know that anyone who didn't win this January Pay it Forward
Grant is not only welcome, but encouraged to apply for the next one.
Our previous winners include publishers, authors, "gifts that benefit charities"
organizers, community leaders, entrepreneurs and young people who simply "get It" and want to share It.
The next Pay it Forward Grant will be awarded January 1, 2009.
Please have your application to me by December 15, 2008.

to have info I can touch. Thanks for honoring this request.
