One of my readers - a Michael Phelps fan - excitedly posted a comment on my blog to inform me that there is an auction underway on e-Bay for the Max Cure Foundation (Roar for a Cure)
Why was he so excited?
The highest bidder on a Michael Phelps item snags a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a swimming lesson from the World Champion Olympic Gold Medalist.
At the moment (5:39 pm/Thursday August 13th) there aren't any bids on the Phelps offering, but I expect it is due to the fact the word isn't out yet.
Well, it wasn't, 'til now!
The auction describes the Michael Phelps charity-raiser as a:
"Child Swimming Clinic"
100% of the proceeds benefit the Max Cure Foundation!
