A story I didn't even hear about until after the Olympics was that Joey Cheek, who won a gold and a silver in speed skating, donated his bonus money ($40,000 total) to an organization called Right to Play. It helps kids to learn and grow through sports and play. His money is going to help kids in the Sudan. He's gotten companies to match his donation, and is now over $300,000.
What a great way to end the Olympics - it's so fitting.
