We're about to do something wonderful thanks to the kindness of my dear friend Bruce Gelman. Before Bruce's cancer battle came to an end with his passing last December, he made a very big promise to keep helping people with Get Marty even after he was gone.
In the video on this page, his wife Bea joins me to talk about Bruce and how his legacy of kindness lives on.
During our final on-camera interview in November, Bruce said he wanted to do something special. Every year around his birthday in October, Bruce said that he wanted us to find a family in need and give them $1,000 and he wants us to find another family every year for the next ten years.

Well, his birthday is coming up on October 20th and his lovely wife reached out to make sure we team up to keep his promise and that's exactly what we're doing.
From now until October 15th you can nominate a family in need. The way to do it is with this form: Bruce's Wish
The family must be in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and you should tell us how and why a $1,000 gift could help their family
Bruce has been a friend to Get Marty for a long time, giving his time and talents as a lawyer to help others whenever possible. One of his last efforts was a donation to the KDKA Radio Warmathon benefitting The Dollar Energy Fund. We even crashed his lunch with Paul Zeise to deliver a Cake Walk from Oakmont Bakery.

What an amazing man, and a true friend. I miss him but I'm proud we can keep sharing his kindness.
