This summer, our friend Brian Dowd is riding in the 2008 Livestrong Challenge. It is an amazing cause, and in my home town.

Brian is raising money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. If you can, please see his site, what he is working on and support his cause.

Even If You Have Colon Cancer, Spirit Air Doesn’t Give Refunds

Sweet.  From Consumerist.

I had purchased a ticket on Spirit Airlines for a friend of mine in Brooklyn, New York to come and visit me in Orlando. I had purchased the ticket about three months prior to the departure date so I could get the lowest fare. To make a long story short, my friend had been diagnosed with colon cancer and had to start treatment immediately….

This meant that he would not be able to make the trip down to Orlando and when I explained this situation to Spirit Airlines they couldn’t care less. I even offered to give them medical documentation on my friends condition and they said, “sorry but Spirit policy is no refunds”.

One of my favorite shows to watch is Wallstrip. Lindsay Campbell provides a very fun, quick, smart walk through individual stocks and meets regularly with leaders of companies and Wall Street.

I was catching up on some feeds last night and came across her recent post on Onyx Pharmaceuticals.  ONXX is a company that makes Nexavar, a drug for liver cancer and hopefully lung cancer.  Holly hasn’t been feeling well the past few days.  It is a drag.  This made me smile last night.
