Extra Mile America is a nonprofit organization that helps empower people and organizations as well as cities, inspiring them to “go the extra mile.â€_x009d_ The Extra Mile Foundation was created in 2009 by Shawn Anderson, who has said, “Our work is inspired by the belief that going the extra mile opens doors to new possibilities. Going the extra mile improves the results we find in life, both professionally and personally…it allows us to make a difference in our community and in our world.â€_x009d_ Shawns philosophy has been highly praised by media outlets, politicians, and even Olympic medal holders. Shawn actually got into business at a very early age, when he decided to sell worms to fishermen at eight years old, an early sign of how motivated he has always been.
