A Good Cause

Just a little note: I refuse to shill for charitable organizations, but I do occasionally put up these posts on my blog at the request of readers. Some people have informed me that they feel pressured to donate.

You shouldn’t feel that way, seriously. Just because I think a cause worthy doesn’t mean you have to agree with me. Readers ask me to do this because I have a fairly large following, and I am happy to oblige. It’s the least I can do in return for you guys listening to me rant and indulging my fondness for potty humor.

With that said, one long-time reader emailed me asking me to publicize the plight of Wayde Lewis, a 31-year-old EMT from Canada who is faced with the need of a heart transplant.

At 31 years old.

Folks, when I hear stories like that, I feel guilty for even thinking I have problems.

Go read Wayde’s story, and if you feel moved to contribute, do so. If not, think about spreading the word by publishing a link on your blog or Facebook page.

Doing that doesn’t cost you a dime, yet it’s still a meaningful contribution.

And while I’m on the subject, if reader HogDogs is out there to see this, drop me an email, dude. I lost your email address, and I have a few bucks my readers donated to the Hot Sauce Challenge.
