Johnny has a lot of friends

I just got back from JohnnyDeeps birthday party and let me just say,

Dang Johnny. You have A LOT of friends!

We all met at the Des Moines Yacht Club and at your wife’s behest I brought a flier discussing the LiveStrong Challenge, to show how anyone can donate to the Lance Armstrong Foundation to help fight cancer in your honor.

I didn’t have any preconceptions about how that flier would be receieved but I certainly didn’t expect to receive any cash. In fact I even forgot my wallet.

Well, it didn’t take long, just a few short hours, and the fact of the matter is your friends just donated $210 to the Lance Armstrong Foundation in your honor. I was able to do this because they spontaneously started a donation pot that went around the room and landed in my lap at the end of the night.

So I reckoned; your friends put the money in the pot now, tonight, without delay, for action. So the best course of action was to turn it over to the foundation without delay, where it can be used ASAP to fight cancer.

Happy birthday Johnny! Keep on fighting and enjoy The Tides tomorrow.
