MOST HUGGABLE PEOPLE OF 2010 are...
Unknown creator of this character, "Hug Me" bing  This image started to be passed around
the Internet in a frenzy on tagged.com for "National Cuddle Day," an outgrowth of National
Hugging Day, where the traffic reached 3.5 million hits in the month.

Jeff Ondash, AKA "Teddy McHuggin, Ohio"  
Jeff created this character and earned a place
in the Guinness World Book of Records for the most hugs in an hour (1205 in 2008).  This year,
Jeff intends to break the record for the most hugs in a 24 hour period
February 2010 in Las
Vegas.  You may be able to see him on the Today Show!!!

Jody Hagedorn, Certified Reflexologist and Professional Encourager, Eau Claire, WI
Jody greets everyone she meets with an authentic hug. Sometimes asking permission to exchange
a hug, and most of the time, just reaching out and hugging. People who visit her home or business
comment on how wonderful it is to exchange a hug...It's warm, loving, and they look forward to
the connection with her. When public speaking, Jody begins all of her presentations with hug
facts, and the actual act of hugging...everyone leaves with the dates of National Hugging Day and
other similar observances!  She's actually known as the 'hug lady.'
The "Best Friend Hug."  Thanks, Sarah!
