iMBA student Chris Moriarty and his wife, Laura, recently acted upon their inspiration when they created a nonprofit called the Million Waves Project.

MillionWaves2

Their effort takes littered plastics from the beaches for use in the creation of prosthetics. Living on the northwest coast – in Anacortes, WA – the husband and wife duo saw a need and wanted to motivate others to act. Featured on KING-TV in Seattle, Chris noted that β€œthe beautiful thing is, anyone can do this. We can all do our part.”

Check out the full story on this inspiring project from an inspirational iMBA student.
