UPDATE:
We just found out that this guy that fought Rob was 35 lbs heavier than Rob and was a trained fighter! He was overheard saying that he just wanted to be on TV!! Rob could have gotten seriously hurt! It was totally unfair to Rob, who was just trying to do something positive for charity and this guy comes in all he cares about is looking like a tough bully on TV. Well now you just look like an idiot and a liar! I can't believe the commission would allow a trained fighter to fight Rob!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

We took a helicopter to the fight! Me, Kourt, Scott and Rob, and Bruce was sitting in the front...we even had a helicopter fly right beside us to film it all...how cool!? It felt like we were in some crazy movie!

The event itself was absolutely insane!! None of us are professional fighters... we literally had three days of training to prepare for the event and thought it would be a little bit of fun to raise money for one of our favorite charities, The Dream Foundation. We didn't expect what happened...



When Rob stepped in the ring to fight, his opponent was at least 25 lbs heavier than him, even though the organization had assured us that they were screening the people we were fighting against and that they would be within 5 lbs of our weights! At one point Rob's mask fell off and when he put his hands down he got hit in the face and ended up in hospital with a concussion. Rob's a strong guy and can definitely hold his own, but he wasn't expecting to get hit after his mask had fallen off! This guy just got really down and dirty!

We were all really angry and upset about what had happened to Rob, but I hadn't even fought yet and I didn't want to let the charity down, so I decided to get in the ring. My girl was a good sport, but she was tough! I knew I had to do it for charity, since that's what it was all about, but man, my girl could throw a punch! Look at my black eye!!!

At the end of the day, we did this for charity and that's what counts. Rob is doing fine now and my black eye will be gone soon... I hope. You can try to bring the Kardashians down... but we're a strong family. A concussion and a black eye can't hold us down!

Last June I met Jenni, an amazing and beautiful 23-year-old woman who truly inspired me. Jenni was diagnosed with cancer at just nine weeks old, then again in her senior year of high school and again at 21. I spent the day with her and we got our hair and make up done, one of her wishes made a reality by the Dream Foundation, a charity you all know I am heavily involved with.

Well, I just received an email from Tom at the Dream Foundation, who just returned from a visit with Jenni and unfortunately he tells me she's gotten pretty ill. I wanted to let you all know what Tom said in his e-mail because it brought a tear to my eye. He said: "We visited for about 5 hours where we successfully got her out for a short drive to watch the sunset over the Pugent sound, looked through photos of her mission trip to Colombia, and mostly reminisced about her dream, as she one by one recounted every name and face that she met through the Dream Foundation. She spent extra time talking about how sweet you were to her, you touched her life."

Jenni, you are an angel on earth and an inspiration to me. Your strength is empowering and you have touched my life in more ways than you will ever know. You are in my thoughts at this time and I'll never forget the fun day we spent together. I am so honored to have met you!

It's not too late to bid on my gear and help out a good cause!

I want to take this opportunity to address a comment related to my eBay auction and explain the situation...

On December 1, 2008 5:06pm

Kim I am extremely upset!! I have been bidding on two items since day one, since the very start of the ebay bidding and had the winning bids for the items with only two days left till the end of the bid. I just realized you removed and cancelled the items and relisted the items all over again. I was browsing through ebay and decided to check if there were any new items listed and as I was scrolling down I see the two dresses I was bidding on under new listings!! Kim you even added pics of yourself in the dresses which weren't on the original listing! I cannot believe this!
Can you please let me know what is going on. This is very unfair especially because of the fact that I have been spending so much time bidding and checking on a daily basis. I was super excited that I was going to win these dresses. I was really looking forward to getting these as a Christmas gift for myself. I think it's great what you guys are doing for the Dream Foundation but what you did is really wrong!

I have also sent emails to you at kimsaprincess on ebay. I just received a response saying "this is not Kim. This is the company she hired to list her items. If Kim finds any errors whatsoever in the listings she forces us to cancel them and relist. Sorry."

The funny thing is there weren't any errors on the original listing. I even have proof because I printed out the items yesterday before they got cancelled with the dates and descriptions. The same information that was on the original listing is on the new one!

As a fan I believe I deserve some answers Kim. In the words of Jennifer Aniston, what you did was so uncool!

First of all, Eve: I'm sorry about the trouble you went through. Those auctions that you bid on did not include a picture of me wearing the clothes being auctioned. Those pictures create more interest, and in turn make more money, which then increases the amount going to the Dream Foundation! The organization AuctionCause that is posting and running all of the auctions for me forgot to add some pictures to the listings. Once they realized this they took the auctions down and relisted them. Again sorry for all of the trouble! Good luck bidding!

I hope that clears everything up!
XOXO,
Kim

The other day I decided to go to the DreamFoundation office to meet some of the staff!

It's so easy to attach your name to something but i really wanted to see how the DreamFoundation operates. I learned so much from going there and it really did make such a difference in my experience to see what it really takes to make a dream happen!

I saw the process from start to finish! I heard different stories about amazing people who have had their dreams fulfilled. People dream for, family reunions, health care, trips to Disneyland, to go to a concert, meet a celebrity, anything, you name it! The purpose of the dream foundation is to grant a dream to a terminally ill adult. I saw that there are different stages in a dream, and anyone can help!

You can go HERE to adopt a dream and help out with dreams that are in progress. These dreams are granted to people who are given a life expectancy time. The people who are given eight weeks or less, are put on an emergency dream list. Those dreams are fast tracked.

Seeing the pictures of these people made it all so much more real for me! And if you look at these few examples, hopefully it will make it more real to you!

Seth retouched.jpgSeth is a 39-year-old who was diagnosed with ALS and has a life expectancy of 6 months or less. He was once an avid skier before this illness struck. His dream was to ski again before he dies. Dream Foundation aided to transport him to the Gunstock Adaptive Ski Resort in Laconia, NH. He was joined by eight friends and had a wonderful time.

Walgate Family1W.jpgLynn is 38 and in her final months of her battle with cancer. Her dream is to have one final family trip with her husband and two young children, as well as her best friend and future guardian of her children.

You can also donate your miles so that in reunion dreams the dream foundation can easily send family members to see their ill loved one. GO HERE to donate your miles!

I had a very magical day! I spent it with an amazing, strong girl named Jenni.

Jenni is battling her third diagnosis with cancer. She was first diagnosed when she was nine weeks old, then again in her senior year of high school and now again at 21 years old.

Her lifelong wish has been to meet Tom Hanks! The Dream Foundation granted her wish! During her stay in Los Angeles, I spent the day with her and we got our hair and make up done, which was another one of her wishes!

She is so strong and has such a positive attitude, which I think is so important when your life is being challenged. She shared her story with me and I can relate due to my dad passing of cancer. 

After we spent the day together, we went to a charity event where we auctioned off items to help raise money for The Dream Foundation. My step brother Brandon and his fiance Leah performed there! They are in a band together and signed by Warner Brothers Records.

I feel so lucky to have been touched by Jenni's spirit. I have learned from her.
