Fantastic Friday

June 29th, 2012

Continuing with the Fantastic Friday series, today I bring you something that every one probably already knows about.

Max Sidorov is a 25-year-old Toronto, Ontario man and he is the Fantastic Friday man of the day.  Sorry? You don’t know who Max is?  Maybe you might not know who he is, but sure do know what he has done.

Remember the story of the Greece New York grandma that got bullied on the school bus? Of course you do.  You’ve probably have seen it or talked about it with friends.  Don’t look here for the video because this is all about the greatness of people, not the garbage that those kids dished out.

Back to Max.

Max is the man who decided to do something to help out Karen Klein by raising a few bucks to send her on vacation.

Well a little time has passed and Max’s idea of raising enough money to send Karen on a vacation means she will be able to go around the world…a few dozen times!

$650,000.  That’s right.  Karen will be having an awesome vacation, or what ever she wants to do with that money thanks to Max Sidorov.

Max, for your choice to #BeGreat, you get the Fantastic Friday nod.
