VIDEO:  An Idea in the Making: RadioFlyer (Film Your Issue)
 
 
I'm John Lian, age 23, from Granville, OH. My friend Chen Wu and I recently started Project RescueFlyer (originally Project RadioFlyer), an initiative to help people in developing countries get faster medical care. We faced difficulty & skepticism getting our idea off the ground, but we stuck to it and have come a long way since. Our progress inspired "An Idea in the Making," which tells our story and encourages others to chase their ideas and use them to make a difference in the world.

Hey, guys. Its rare this day and age that you see individuals so young with so much compassion about an issue that seems so necessary but hard to reach. Its vary ambitious, but I hope that some other charities can pick up on the idea so that we can see this dream become reality. Good luck all around.
