This idea comes from Perry Smith, who founded the One Month to Give nonprofit organization. Perry's passion for photography, his Christian faith and a lymphoma diagnosis at the age of fifteen led him to this idea. By the time Perry graduated from Lakeville North High School in 2013, he had overcome his bout with lymphoma and was well underway in his photography business and his mission to help others. See the many philanthropic photographers and the service each is volunteering on the One Month to Give website.
