I'm a sucker for the whole punish-yourself-for-a-good-cause milieu. One of these days I hope to do something crazy myself, but in the meantime, this guy Mike Pluimer could use your support. He's participating in the 2009 South Africa Ironman to raise money for the fight against AIDS. The Ironman ain't no joke, so throw the dude a couple bucks for a good cause - and for his trouble.
