Things to Know About Riley Stone:

• When Riley was ten, she started a fund-raiser to collect warm socks for the homeless. She engaged twelve schools and collected more than 1,500 pairs of socks for local shelters.

• Riley kept one super-cute purple pair for herself because hey, no one said ten-year-olds were perfect.

• At age twelve, Riley won the opportunity to make a speech at the local chapter of a veterans’ organization. She spoke about what their service meant to her and her great-grandfather, who served in Vietnam. Riley received a standing ovation, and to date, the video has received 130,000 YouTube hits, which unfortunately is not quite viral by Riley standards.

• When Riley was in middle school, she set national records for most Girl Scout cookies sold by selling her wares outside of frat houses notorious for partying.

• At age seven, Riley, ever the type A, began to enter behavioral therapy because her parents worried about her taking on too much. Her therapists and psychiatrists agreed it was a good choice for a girl with her tendencies, but Mr. and Mrs. Stone were nervous about any social ramifications the therapy could have if Riley was ever found out, so she was never allowed to attend more than a few weeks of continual therapy at a time.
