US: America's Egg Farmers Honour Incredible Brother

An 11-year-old Boy Starts a Business, Helps Heal His Family and Gives Back to Charity

For the second year in a row, America's egg farmers have teamed up with the Emmy Award-winning "Rachael Ray Show," to celebrate America's incredible role models - people of all ages who are helping and inspiring children and families to live and eat more healthily.  The "Rachael Ray Show" recently featured another "Incredible People" story about an 11-year-old identical twin from Maryland who started a bakery in honour of his twin brother, who passed away from brain cancer.

While grieving over the loss of his brother Eric, Aaron Ware was given some unconventional advice from his paediatrician. Noticing the smile on Aaron's face when he told her about his love of baking, she prescribed Aaron to start a bakery, come up with a name and write a business plan. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a $20 bill and told him she would be his first investor. From there, Aaron's bakery "Doughjangles" was born.

Aaron now bakes and delivers cookies with his parents, often fulfilling more than a dozen orders a week, and donates a portion of the proceeds to the Casey Cares Foundation, a charity that helped his family throughout the course of his brother's illness.

For his business, Aaron uses dozens of eggs each week to make his favourite kinds of cookies, which include chocolate chip and Butterscotch Dream. To celebrate Aaron's incredible spirit, America's egg farmers are donating a year's supply of eggs to Aaron's business, Doughjangles and matching the donation to a food bank in Maryland, where the twins are from.

The Incredible Edible Egg™ Celebrates Incredible People All Year Long
Inspired by incredible stories like these, America's egg farmers, this year alone, have donated more than 12 million eggs to food banks and charities across the nation. The need for food among America's food banks continues to grow, especially for high-quality protein foods, like eggs, which help build muscle and allow people to feel full longer and stay energised.
