Whenever I think of the Hampton's and glamour I think of my girlfriend Christie Brinkley. She is one of the most passionate people I know, especially when it comes to charities. Her devotion and widespread enthusiasm knows no bounds. From fighting for nuclear nonproliferation to a variety of other environmental issues, Christie is someone who doesn't just talk the talk but walks the walk (and what a joy it is to watch her walk that walk, lol)! My newest segment of Cause Celeb with Phillip Bloch on ABC World News Now features Christie Brinkley and one of her many causes, The Ellen Hermanson Foundation, which provides support and outreach to breast cancer patients in Southampton, NY. This cause is very close to my heart as I lost my mother to breast cancer in 1995. I only wish that an organization such as The Ellen Hermanson Foundation had been around during her battle with breast cancer as her body betrayed her. She never lost her spirit to fight, and neither did Ellen Hermanson, whose legacy lives on to provide much needed comfort and care to women and men who suffer from breast cancer. I applaud Christie's choice of Ellen's Run (the fundraising vehicle for the foundation) for a national campaign with Danskin. Yet another example of the good taste, kind heart, and sincere compassion from my beautiful friend!

All my best,
