Remarkable for All the Right Reasons

I'm trying very hard to be eloquent right now, but for the most part I can only think to say: This. Is. Awesome. - with about a thousand exclamation points. (Editors Note: Read the story below the Tee.  The shirt is fairly awful but the message and love are truly fantastic!) It's amazing what some people decide to do with fame and fortune.  Some "celebrities" decide to party all night and abuse those beneath them.  While others decide to raise awareness and funding for little talked about causes such as mental illness, suicide and depression.  Seriously?  How can you not love them?               

When Jared started his campaign last month, he managed to reach his goal in about a day and surpassed it by thousands upon thousands of dollars by the end date.  I was more than impressed by his idea and his passion for the project, but I sort of thought that would be it.  I should have known better.  He's seemingly not just some celebrity itching for the limelight. He's passionate about making a difference and by joining forces with Jensen, I'm sure they're going to exceed even the highest of expectations.

If you don't believe me, just take a look at this statistic: The initial goal for this campaign was to sell 1000 shirts in 2 weeks............They managed to surpass that goal in 35 minutes!

Now tell me again, why aren't teenagers seeing the good that Jensen and Jared and Misha Collins (Co-Director of Random Acts) are doing and are instead worshiping the likes of Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian?

Way to go boys!
