Dropped off the donation check today!

[Ken Skip Hill]

I met Tera at the Tennyson Center for Children and Families today and presented them with our donation check. They assured me that the funds would come in handy and that they absolutely had families that can use our donations this year for Christmas. It was a pretty good feeling and I felt a little selfish being the only one there to take part in it.

They are also going to use the picture of us holding the check on their website and showcase IntenseMuscle.com as one of their donors for this Holiday Season. I was very happy to hear that and I even got to take a tour of the cottage that I worked in for 8 years until 2005. She was very impressed not only at the amount of the donations that we raised but that they came from all over the world. The website is www.TennysonCenter.org or www.childabuse.org.

I assured Tera that I would be better organized next year and that IntenseMuscle.com was committed to helping Children and Families next year, as well.

Tera asked me to thank all of the donors for their generosity and selflessness and I want to do the same. I have said it already but I want to say it again: I am very proud of this community and people and I thank you, as well.

Great work Skip. Reminds me of the "Lift Strong" stuff that EFS was doing a while back.

We are so lucky to be doing what we do, both in life and in this "luxury" sport of bodybuilding, where excess is often the name of the game. Its very sobering and important to remember that while we are living in extremes, many people are not even at "normal."

[Undertow]

Very cool! How much did you raise?

[Ken Skip Hill]

I'm sticking this because... well, let's think about it:

This is a bodybuilding and weightlifting board. But instead of swindling the members to buy bullshit worthless supplements, or sponsoring the board with black-market steroid sellers, Ken hand-picks quality sponsors. Not only that, but he actively solicited his members to donate money to a shelter for abused and neglected children and their families.

Ken got his members to donate almost $5800. Stop and think about that for a minute. You think that would happen at TNation? How about Professional Muscle? RXMuscle? GetBig?

God, I love this place.

Skip, I am happy for the people that were helped and I look forward to next year when I will be in a better position to help.
Well done.
You, your friends and your members helped people that need help, few actions are more noble.

Agreed. Made me feel good about being a little less selfish.
