A year ago, I donated bone marrow to save my Dad from acute myeloid leukemia. Since then, I learned that more than 3,000 people die each year waiting for a bone marrow donor.

Since 2015, Paris has spent $1.6B to clean the Seine to host swimming events for the Olympics. Today it was announced that levels of E-coli in the water are not within the safe limits.

17 year-old swimmer breaks not 1, but 2 World Records. She's the fastest in the world, but had to choose between attending Stanford (in 2 years) & taking her World Record prize money (which is north of $200,000/record). Good job NCAA- you officially suck.
