"Bergen or Bust. I got Norway in my rear view mirror and all I want to know is when we are going back? To travel over the land to Norway for charity & basketball was a humbling offer I could not refuse. Being my first event with the Hollywood Knights I have to give much thanks to them for an amazing experience that went off without a glitch. They gave me the opportunity to travel with minimal stress and gave me a perspective I can not put into words. As they say in Norwegian, "Skoll! (Cheers!) to the Knights and we'll get them next year!"

"My thoughts: We live only once and our purpose is to make a difference in everyone's life even if it's for a brief moment in time. The time spent with the children from the Norwegian Cancer Society was not enough for me personally. Watching them and seeing the pain they have gone through in such a short amount of time only helps me acknowledge and appreciative my own life and the opportunities that have been put in front of me. I see how precious life is because of the pain they have gone through. Those children are my idols and role models. I admire them for their courage, strength and faith. Whatever they believe in, it's beautiful. They have proven to me that life is amazing. I personally want to make a difference in their lives, and in turn, their lives have made a difference to me. Thank you – Vicky, Mike, Traci, and Drina for giving me this opportunity."

"Rarely in our lives do we have a chance to have such a personally rewarding experience that has such a profoundly positive effect on the lives of others. Every moment of the trip was truly special from the wonderful Hollywood Knights team to the beautiful and welcoming city of Bergen to the smiles and strength of the children we were lucky enough to get to know. Thank you so much and I hope to be a part of the Hollywood Knights family for a very long time. PS - Michael, Vicky, Traci, Drina, Howie and Miata – You really made this trip. Thank you all so much for making this so unbelievably special. Never have I laughed so much or slept so little. You guys are incredible and wonderful people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"Probably the most memorable travel experience of my life. Beautiful people, breathtaking scenery and priceless company and bonding. In addition to the fact that the tour was safe, efficient and organized to the hilt. Thank you to all those involved for the time of my life."

"This trip has left a mark on my heart that will never be forgotten. I've made so many friends and met so many people on this tour and would do it all over again. People say that we as people/celebrities bring so much joy to these children lives just by saying hello, but in actuality they are the ones that bring joy to us. A child that can still smile and play like they never had an illness or disease can make even the toughest man cry. We do thee things to create lifelong relationships with these children and just hope to leave a mark on their hearts like they did ours. Just knowing that one conversation, one high five, or one laugh could maybe get them thru even the hardest days means the world to me. That's what it's all about."

"Thank you so very much to all of the wonderful people of Hollywood Knights! I had the most incredible experience and I will never forget any of the sights I saw. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to everyone for giving me the opportunity to spend time with the incredibly strong children of the Norwegian Cancer Society. I was so touched by their amazing spirits and I know that I'm leaving with a much fuller heart! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!"
