				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The I&#8217;ll Fly Away Foundation signs with M2M PR &amp; Partnerships</h4>
<p>Mouth to Mouth PR &amp; Partnerships is not your typical PR and Promotions agency. We&#8217;re not normal and we are proud of that. We aren&#8217;t some tight-lipped corporate types and don&#8217;t use big lofty titles.
