Bill Morris’ sons Jason and Christopher

It was during this time of his career that his two sons were born and he also became involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Bill became an Executive Board member and “fundraiser” for the Foundation, and began his “enhanced-career” helping kids. Bill created, conducted and was the prime participant in a “Sit-Up-a-thon” to raise funds for terminally ill children for five consecutive years while on Wall Street.

Bill set a World Record for completing 20,100 consecutive sit-ups in 11 hours and 32 minutes. This led to Bill speaking at High Schools and Universities on fitness. Bill wanted to reach all kids, not just athletes, and so designed a program called “Formula for Success”. This program shows all kids, how to get it together mentally, physically and spiritually.

For the past twenty years Bill has been speaking, educating and motivating audiences from kids incarcerated, in rehab, foster homes,   “half-way homes”, Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers and Sisters, obese camps, continuation high schools, to speaking at The World Drug Conference, West Point and Stanford University.

His motto in life is “learn, earn and return”, and with that in mind, has created a lofty goal to try and reach the 30 millions kids in the USA with his message and “game plan”. Bill recently created a DVD called Success4Teens.
