The Tiger Gene

Fiercely loyal and protective wife, friend and mother of four; author of three bestselling books; multi-platform journalist; inspired philanthropist who’s helped raise $80+ million to help 11+ million traumatized vets and others in need; incomparably witty and wise—after an IED in Iraq turned her world upside down.
Lee's designated charity is The Bob Woodruff Foundation, which stands out from the sea of 46,000 nonprofits that serve veterans by the way in which it finds, funds and shapes innovative programs within that maze in order to leverage and optimize long-term wellbeing.

Kauai’s Mike Coots is a premier oceanic photographer, passionate shark advocate, effervescent Good Samaritan, and GoPro Hero. He loves nothing better than swimming with sharks—when not surfing beside them with the aid of the prosthetic leg required after a 12-foot, 1,200-pound tiger shark tried to make a meal of him. His "impossible" escape and ebullient, infectious “I’m living on borrowed time” attitude has landed him on CBS, NBC, CNN, MSN, PBS, BBC, and Discovery; in The Washington Post, Daily Mail, National Geographic, Smithsonian, Outside, Parade, and Reader’s Digest.

Mike’s designated charity is San Diego-based Challenged Athletes Foundation, which pays for the often extremely expensive, highly specialized devices, rehab and training so physically challenged athletes can compete and be respected at the same level as able-bodied athletes. https://www.challengedathletes.org/mission-and-history/

Carol Hansen epitomizes The Tiger Gene℠. The 81-year-old flight attendant survived the nightmare of Flying Tiger flight 923—and other traumas—yet has never resented her suffering; insisting her adversity has been a blessing. World-famous psychiatrist Mia Kogan, M.D., helps listeners understand not only how Carol has managed to pounce on life—but how anyone can. https://drkogan.com/about/

Carol’s designated charity is Adopt Rescue in Pequannock, New Jersey—which provides a temporary home for homeless, stray, and unwanted animals. Its goal is to find permanent loving homes. It’s always in need of donations and volunteers. 

Flying Tiger 923's only living crew member shares her jaw-dropping story of 
defying adversity by means of an inspiring blend of courage, compassion, 
and craziness: "I'm eighty-one, still having fun, and I'm not done."
