When Aaron Collins died a year ago, the 30-year-old's will ended with an unusual request. "The last thing in it was that we go out to dinner and leave an awesome tip," brother Seth explains to NPR. "And he said, 'I'm not talking about 25%. I mean, $500 for pizza.'" Seth and his parents raised money from friends and family to carry out the 30-year-old's wish, and made a video about it—which went viral. More people started donating to the cause, giving more than $60,000 to date, so Seth set out on a quest to leave $500 tips in each of the 50 states. He's blogging about the odyssey on Aaron's Last Wish.
The 54th tip was handed out last week in Indianapolis, reports ABC News, which has video of the emotional waitress's reaction. Indiana is the 17th state Seth has hit, and he says the experience "never gets old." He's been handing out tips on a weekly basis, and is planning a four-month trip to hit the rest of the states. Aaron "had always been a generous tipper," Seth explains. As a kid, if he wasn't happy with the tip his parents left, "he would take a couple dollars of his own money and toss that on the table to help bolster the amount of the tip."
