The V Foundation

The V Foundation Auction

OK. Today is a great day for those who fight cancer. ESPN Radio host an auction to raise money for the Jimmy V Foundation for cancer research. I won't go into details on Jimmy V. I will say this, "Please click the links above and read about Jimmy V. If it does not touch you and move you to tears...I do not know what to say."

Jim gave a speech, at the ESPN ESPY Awards, when he know he was dying from cancer. Watch this speech, please. ESPN Radio airs the auction live all day, once a year, at this time. It is truly moving.

I have but one gripe. How is it that you can be a local affiliate of a major network, like ESPN Radio, and not cover this event. Yes, you mention it, but you cut away from it to keep your local listeners from being entertained by it just to promote your own, local, auction that does not even happen until later in the month. I think it is stupid that the program director did not even think to change things for one day to support this.

I'm out.
