This article caught my attention this morning, “Oregon cancels Special Olympics“. From the article:
Marc Bourett, with the Special Olympics Oregon, says donations were down 30 percent and expected grants have fallen through, so the board of directors made the tough call.
How could this happen? I mean, even in a recession, the Special Olympics needs to go on. I volunteered once as a timer for the track event and saw first hand the dedication and devotion the athletes have. Since then we’ve donated about once a quarter to this cause.
It’s very unfortunate … I hope someone with cash to spare decides to donate and revive the Special Olympics.

Skip a Lunch is an idea I had after reading an article in the National Geographic on the spread of malaria. It turned out for a mere $10 you could buy a family in Africa a mosquito net through the American Red Cross. I spend $10 every time I frequent a Starbucks, so why shouldn't I skip one lunch or cinnamon dolce latte and help save a child? I did. Will you?
