"In 2004, Polish swimmer Otylia Jedrzejczak was so moved by children she met who were battling leukemia that she auctioned off her gold medal from the Athens Olympics for $82,500 and donated the money to a Polish leukemia charity.
The Polish Mint later made her a gold replica of her medal."

that is cool.
