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!”
Thanks PopCrunch for the info.
Rebecca does not like biographies. They are stupid and she would rather spend her time editing the site. Which she does with great vigor.
