This past Saturday, Teresa and some of the T-Tapp Staff had the blessing to attend the Live Your Legacy Summit in St. Petersburg, FL.
Live Your Legacy Summit was created by the beautiful Aurea McGarry, who is an Emmy Winning TV Show Host for the PBS program, Live Your Legacy. Learn how she Aurea is changing the world and making it a better place, one legacy at a time.
If you ever have a chance to go to a Live Your Legacy Summit (http://liveyourlegacysummit.com/index.html) event, the T-Tapp Staff HIGHLY recommends it! We learned so much, had SO much fun and left inspired to do what we can to create a better world for ourselves - inside and out.
We met some AMAZING people that are making real differences in the world and we would like to showcase these do-gooders in Website Wednesday today:
Shea Holbrook
Race Car Driver

Shea's passion for driving started when she was 16 with a Richard Petty Experience. Shea quickly began excelling in the motorsports world through high performance driving events all throughout Florida. Shea debuted her first professional race season with Pirelli World Challenge in 2010. With now two years of pro racing experience underneath her belt, she's looking for a competitve and successful full race season in 2012.
Fear is a state of mind, will is an action taken. Shea lives this quote and believes through commitment and determination anything is possible. Helping others is another love of Shea's. Shea Racing partnered up with Frito Lay Corp., in 2008 to raise $12,500 for the Susan G. Komen For the Cure. She has also raised thousands of dollars and awareness for her charity of choice, Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD.) PPMD benefits Duchenne muscular dystrophy which affects her own family.
