Breaking Bad Contributes Items for Auction to Benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
About a year ago, Breaking Bad's writer Gennifer Hutchison and associate producer Andy Ortner joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training, a program that provides professional training and support for runners, walkers, cyclists, hikers, and triathletes committed to raising money towards finding cures for various blood cancers. Having already raised nearly $5000 through a half-marathon in 2011, the two -- joined by Breaking Bad post coordinator Trevor Baker -- are currently training for their first full marathon. Towards that end, Hutchison, Ortner and Baker have collected a number of Breaking Bad items from the show's creative crew and are putting them up for auction to support their local Team in Training chapter. The lot includes:
• A copy of the script of Breaking Bad's series premiere signed by creator Vince Gilligan
• An official Breaking Bad Season 4 hat
• A Breaking Bad 2012 wall calendar
• A Breaking Bad metal water bottle
• Four Saul Goodman matchbooks
The auction ends this Fri. night, Feb. 24 at 1:15AM ET/11:15PM PT. Help a good cause: Click here to bid in this Breaking Bad eBay auction.
