Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end of the One City, One Book Bucket List Challenge. Come out to celebrate with facilitator Laura Carney and special guest, activist and founder of More Good Today, Mary Latham. Participants can share what they learned from the two weeks and plan bold next steps. There might even be some surprises (hint: some giveaways and shout-outs). So bring your dreams, your courage, and your calendar. It is time to say YES to your life, and this is the moment to start.

Laura Carney's best-selling book My Father’s List: How Living My Dad’s Dreams Set Me Free was published in 2023. Laura has appeared on CBS News Sunday Morning, NPR, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, among others. She has been covered by the Washington Post, AARP, Woman’s Day, and Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper. My Father’s List was one of the Best Books of 2023 in Real Simple magazine. Laura cofounded and teaches the Pioneer Project with Do The Thing founder Stacey Lauren for Melissa Gilbert’s brand Modern Prairie.

Mary Latham is a remarkable person who embarked on a mission across all 50 United States to collect stories of human kindness. Her journey took her over 43,000 miles in her mother’s Subaru where she stayed with 154 strangers and collected heartwarming stories of more good to share with the world. Mary used local media and radio to promote her journey and visited various community gatherings to spread her message of kindness. Her experiences and stories are being compiled into a book that she plans to donate to hospital waiting rooms. Mary is passionate about spreading positivity and inspiring others to live a fulfilling life.
