I'm curious, if that's the case, has Mike stopped spending money on gear so that he could donate to the cause?
Well since you asked, warchild. Mike is always quick to donate to many causes actually. When grocery shopping and checking out, he donates to the Jimmy Fund, Easter Seals, American Heart Association, American Association, etc. Also, here in Florida there are a lot of homeless that peddle for change at different major intersections where he will also either give cash or offer food to.
