mom & i are gonna have dinner from hardee's tonight...they're donating part of all sales tonight to a little girl named meghann...she needs money for brain surgery - a hemispherectomy to remove half of her brain to control her seizures.

Meaghann Muncy, 9, of Dillsboro, Indiana has a rare brain abnormality called Hemimegalencephaly (HME). She has multiple life-threatening seizures daily that traditional treatments can't control. Meg's last hope of relief is a surgery removing the right half of her brain. Johns Hopkins has two surgeons who specialize in Hemispherectomy but Hopkins will not accept the family's insurance. The expected cost of her surgery is $150,000 and must be paid in full before Meg can have surgery.

pretty weird....
