Veteran wrestler Mick Foley is donating half the proceeds from his latest book to survivors of rape in Sierra Leone (through Child Fund International). The other half is being donated to RAINN. He’s also donating his time as an online counselor for RAINN:

They have my first name when they sign in. There are times when the [screen] goes dead. Some women understandably may not want to talk to a man. But for the young lady I talked to, I think she appreciated my perspective. I told her I have four children, including a daughter about her age. She was very worried about what her parents might think. In those cases you have to continually reassure victims that they are victims. We let them know how brave it is for them to reach out for help.

i loved foley from back when i saw beyond the mat, but this is really wonderful. what a good guy.

Sometimes I think some of this stuff Foley does is merely publicity, but his heart actually seems to be in the right place.
