Jeopardy Winner Hiking to Raise $ For Families of Wounded Vets

I am so happy and proud to know this guy.

My good Trebekistan buddy David Madden, holder of the second-longest consecutive-game win streak in the history of Jeopardy!, is hiking the entire east coast of the U.S. -- from Edmundston, New Brunswick just over the Canadian border all the way to Key West -- while raising money for Fisher House, which provides temporary hospital-adjacent housing for families of wounded soldiers.

When I tell you over and over that Trebekistan is filled with incredibly cool people, this is what I mean.

And whatever you think of the war -- and David and I think along pretty similar lines -- there are now thousands of fellow Americans who were put in harm's way as a result, and they and their families have to pull together now and find a way to get through it. This is a pretty amazing (for David) and easy (for us) way to help.

He's got a blog up and running now, plus a couple of cool photo albums, if you'd like to see what it's like to walk 3000 miles for charity.

Toss in a penny a mile, and that's thirty bucks. Or throw in two pennies. Or three. Donations are tax-deductible and Fisher House gets absolutely top ratings from charity watchdogs.

Bright guy, David. Also, and more importantly, good.

Let's do some good now, too.
