In Fargo – Operation: Sleep Out – Simply Amazing ( VIDEOS )
I had a chance to meet this energetic, motivated man about 8 years ago
This person is someone you come across every once in a while and he makes an immediate impact on those fortunate enough to be in his path. His name is Mark J. Lindquist - born in a town called Ortonville, Minnesota. He now calls Moorhead, Minnesota his home, if you are looking for a motivational speaker, this is your perfect person. He is the CEO at Mark J. Lindquist - Motivational Speaker and Entertainer - He is Nationally recognized and has toured the world, AND he is graced with a ton of talent, as a matter of fact, you may have seen him on television singing the National Anthem, he has performed for the largest crowds in America for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA and on MNF, TNF, and SNF. Here he is doing what he loves:

The most important part of all though- he is a man with an enormous heart and he is on a mission.
Literally, a bone-chilling event kicked off today in Fargo
Mark is a United States Air Force Veteran - Here is what he posted yesterday on Facebook, which began today!

Here is a snapshot of how YOU can help:
Now let's try and comprehend what he started today
Today is December 16th, NOT May. North Dakota weather is brutal, and uninviting in the winter, Mother Nature can be downright rude - Mark began a 17-day mission today to camp out with his tent and sleeping bag - he's not crazy, I assure you. He's also about THE most humble, nicest human being I have ever met - IF you get the chance, go shake his hand.
