A doctor I know said this is very good news (relative to him having to be resuscitated twice).

Yeah, this is one of those "commas matter" scenarios

There was only one instance at Paycor stadium.

There was only one instance, at Paycor stadium.

That part about Pat telling teammates, love it

$6,861,320:clap::clap::clap::clap:

From what I am told it started at around 12K and has exploded since then

Just donated a little. wish it could be more, but right after Christmas is a bad time for me. Fantastic that they've raised so much money though. Hopefully Hamlin will be able to stand in front of a camera with a giant check before too long.

Brother - every little bit counts - no need to wish it was more - it is plenty :)

It's kind of crazy that his foundation has a much higher net worth than he does.

I can't wait for him to wake up everything be OK and to see how much he is loved

I'll say it since its my field. I sincerely hope they have adequate controls and the right people in place or are at least working towards it. 1200 to 6 mil in 72 hours can be overwhelming and tempting without either.

That said, I hope it keeps pouring in and we ultimately see a feature about it with him in it.

All those multi millionaires and billionaires donating 10 grand is like a Joe Schmo donating a buck

why do people always say this when rich people donate? they never think they give enough…just because they have hundreds of millions doesn’t mean they need to donate 100s of thousands. honestly, they don’t have to donate at all.

The truth is, that they already usually donate millions/yr. It's just spread around to a thousand different causes. And the amounts are usually standardized; just makes it easier to track.
