Marc Accetta Shares His Blessings By Playing Big Brother

From Marc Accetta

Marc Accetta has been blessed in life, with a successful career as a globally acclaimed motivational speaker, and a loving, supportive family. As a way of giving back and sharing his life’s blessings to those who need it, he and his wife Kelly are involved in the Big Brother Big Sister Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps children reach their full potential through one-to-one relationships with mentors that aim to have a positive impact on youth.

Marc’s “little brother” is William Timmerman, one of the five children in the Timmerman household. In 2001, William lost his father – his heart suddenly stopped. Mr. Timmerman was revived, but died eleven days later due to an irreparable damage to his heart caused by a recent bout with the flu virus. Marc Accetta, together with this family, helped him get over his grief and get his life back on track.

From Marc Accetta

Before the Accetta family came along and shortly after his father’s death, William and his siblings felt neglected because their mother had to work long hours to make both ends meet. William started suffering from anxiety attacks, and became withdrawn and quiet. He even had an imaginary friend named Fred. Thankfully, with the organization’s help, Marc’s positive influence, and the love and support from the Accetta family, William grew with confidence and self-assurance.
