    Very commendable! I just hope that all this aid gets to where it's needed most.

    That's great. Good on him. Makes him look better than some other sports stars out there (what other athletes have given to the cause?).

    Way to go Schumi. If this is true, may he win more and more World Championship for as long as he cares to race!

    I'm sure when he goes to Japan, China, Indonesia, and anywhere in SE Asia he'll be the fan favorite.
    And it was 10 mil Euros, which is 13.6 mil US, which makes the panzey French, the Chinese, many middle-eastern counties look like crap. Maybe some of the 10,000 Saudi princes should sell a Ferrari or two and step up a little like Schumi and Ferrari did.

    good for him. and as for other celebrities, and athletes(or at least the ones here in america, well most of them) i dont think they should even bother, they dont care, they just wanna make it look like their helping someone, but i dont think shumi is like that.

    I believe he earns the highest salary of any athlete in the world. Amazing what he's doing.

    Where are all the hollywood loudmouths who were so vocal about our international responsibilities during the last presidential election? Wonder how much Michael Moore, for example, is donating?

    I'ld like to see George Sorros pony up. Hell if Gore has money to pi$$ away on another liberal TV channel he can too. And since Clinton couldn't stop talking about how much money he's been making in the last year he should too.

    The silence from Hollywood is deafening!!!
