  • Hackers for Charity Johnny is such an amazing guy, I'm honored to call him my friend. He would tell you he isn't a superhero either. That is one of the things I love about all my inspirational friends. None of them do this for their ego or to promote their self image/social standing. They do it because they believe it is the right thing to do, and it makes them feel good to know they have made a difference for another person (or animal)
