Naibenta ni Austin Lettner ang kanyang baboy na si Millhouse, 230 pounds, sa may pinakamataas na bidder sa fair mula sa Ohio, United States.
“The goal is to get it to proper weight,” saad ng fair’s board president na si Bob Toth.
“They are able to sell at auction and hopefully, the proceeds pay for the cost of that animal and all that feed.”
“One day my parents just asked me, well asked me and [my brother] Logan if we wanted to keep the money for our pigs or donate it, and we said donate the money,” saad ni Austin Lettner.
Napag-desisyonan ng magkapatid na i-donate ang kanilang pera sa St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Ito ay isang pediatric treatment and research facility na naka-focus sa mga batang may sakit partikular sa cancer.

Napag-desisyonan ng magkapatid na i-donate ang kanilang pera sa St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Ito ay isang pediatric treatment and research facility na naka-focus sa mga batang may sakit partikular sa cancer.
“The people that we are donating the money to, they need the money more than we do. No kid should have cancer.”
Hindi naman makapaniwala ang ama ni Austin na si Jamie Lettner sa kabaitan ng bidders sa nasabing subastahan.
"All the way through here there wasn’t a dry eye from the biggest, burliest men to the highest-paid guy in here.
"Everybody was just tearing up and crying, they were so proud of these boys and themselves.
"They should be extremely proud of themselves for coming and supporting these children.
"Not just mine, but all of them."
