Don't know if anyone here has the resources, but Bode miller donated his Olympic helmet for a charity Auction. A former US team ski tech has breast cancer, and the auction is for medical cost.

If this goes as well as the World Cup bibs did for the Haiti appeal it'll go for a bomb. It's way past my budget already.

The really sad part is that she should be worrying about medical cost at a time like that. Even if she has medical insurance, it could still end up costing tens of thousands. The right wing in the US has a lot of misery to answer for. Most bankruptcies in the US are because of medical bills. The problem is that when you have good insurance (we normally have double insurance), the service is so good, that you don't want things changed. Then along comes a change of circumstance, and you're screwed.
