Raring to get my career started, I seized this opportunity to help coordinate this much-revered telethon. I wrote program copy and speeches, and generated earned media. Over the course of that summer I also singlehandedly ate an entire crate of Red Delicious apples kept in the office closet. (I was still in college, after all...)
