Peter Shankman travels for a living, giving speeches around the country. The last thing he wants to do in his free time is travel from his home in New York.
So for the fifth year in a row, Shankman is donating hundreds of thousands of miles to people in need – those who can’t afford a flight but want to be with sick loved ones during the holidays, or a parent who wants to see a faraway child.
Shankman posts his contest on the social media site Imgur, and other Imgur users vote for winners of Shankman’s miles. After the initial year of the giveaway, other travelers started seeing Shankman’s posts on Imgur and began donating their miles to his contest, multiplying the gift.
