Lauren Conrad Donates Award to Leukemia Patient

Lauren Conrad is donating her 2008 Teen Choice Award to a 12-year-old leukemia patient, TMZ reported Wednesday.

Pat Pedraja , who lost a shot at a $100,000 grand prize in this year’s Do Something Contest, was recently presented with a $10,000 and an iPod, courtesy of Conrad. And soon the young activist will have LC’s Teen Choice surfboard as a token of his brave battle against leukemia.

Conrad met the kid, Pat Pedraja, at a Teen Choice pre-party Saturday where she presented him with $10,000 check from Do Something for his work recruiting bone marrow donors from minorities across the country.

“I didn’t win the Do Something Award and was a little sad,” Pat wrote on the organization’s Web site. “When Lauren won her award … she dedicated the award to ME and my work! That made me feel special! Lauren didn’t have to tell me that I was amazing, she didn’t have to go out of her way to give me a present and she didn’t have to dedicate her award to me, but SHE DID. Simple, kind and generous gestures like this make all the difference to me and I will never forget it!”
