I am really impressed with a 12 year old young man named Diesel Pippert who recently had his hog to be auctioned at the Huron County Fair on Saturday that was sold for $15,000 dollars.
Diesel who has been a regular at the county fair for the last three years decided not to keep the prize money for himself and his mom Erin Sanders.
Diesel decided to donate the prize money to assist needy children at the St. Jude's Children Research Hospital in Memphis Tennessee.
It is just amazing that Diesel gained the approval of his mother to donate $15,000 dollars to the children's hospital in Memphis so the children in that hospital can receive free care since the hospital relies on donations to grant medical treatment for free that eases the burden of the families who have a child who is in medical need of help.
I just wish that more young men and women follow Diesel's lead in assisting others with those huge amounts of prize money that they win in contests.

You are correct. Most kids would take the money and start to have massive egos since money can make good people get an arrogant view of life.

@TheHorse I hope so too since there are too many bad news stories on the television and internet today.

Diesel is doing what is right in God' view of life since it is nice to assist others who really need help from wealthy persons.

That was a lot of bacon money for St. Jude's.

I saw this on the news this morning. That was truly a selfless gesture; and St. Jude is a wonderful charity.

My late mom used to donate money for the children's hospital since she knows that the late Danny Thomas who was the founder of the hospital had a heart for helping sick children.

@Deepizzaguy If we were ever to win the lottery, St. Judes and the Shriners Hospital would be big recipients.
