Olympian Uses Bonus to Do Good
Joey Cheek, speedskater from the US, is giving his $25,000 bonus for wining gold to a charity that helps children in a war-torn region in Dafur, named Right to Play. He has challeged his sponsors to match his donation. It's nice (and rare) to see an American thinking globally. Good for you Joey!
