Aaron Norris is joined this week by Odette Gutierrez and Kristin Tanner of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Over the last 12 years, part of I Survived Real Estate is that The Norris Group pays for the event one hundred percent, so every single dollar that is raised is split between Make a Wish and St. Jude. Last year, they featured Make A Wish, and this year they really wanted to focus some attention on St. Jude. He doesn't think nearly enough people understand what an awesome outfit that this company is.
