So, I'm not just about "The Fluff", I'm also on the Board of Directors for a charity called The One Step Closer Foundation. It was started by a friend of mine, Jacob, whom if you've been to the World Series of Poker, you've seen whizzing by in his motorized wheelchair and thought "Did that kid steal Doyle's scooter?"

Jacob has cerebral palsy. But has always lived his life with the goal of helping others.

(Read his bio at www.onestepcloserfoundation.org )

The Houston Chronicle just wrote a comprehensive piece on the foundation that I thought was insightful, please check it out when you get a chance. He is such an amazing inspiration.

And look for us to produce a charity poker tournament later this year - that of course I'll hit you all up for!
