LC to Teen Choice: I'm Not Worthy!

Posted Aug 5th 2008 5:08PM by TMZ Staff

Even Lauren Conrad realizes there's more to life than "The Hills."

TMZ has learned LC is giving up the surfboard she won at this year's Teen Choice Awards for living her life on TV to someone a lot more deserving -- a 13-year-old Leukemia patient who was up for the $100,000 Do Something Award and lost.

Conrad met the kid, Pat Pedraja, at a Teen Choice pre-party Saturday where she presented him with $10,000 check from Do Something for his work recruiting bone marrow donors from minorities across the country.

We hear she personally slipped him an iPod Touch she filled with her favorite music. It ain't $100,000 bucks -- but we're working with a reality TV budget here.

16. #11 dnm Why are a-hole . Why you so jaded. It is very believable that a young starlet could and did something noce for someone. You must have some deep seated issues in your life HATER

19. Way to go LC! She realized what a terrific thing the boy is doing! (and ALL of those Do Something winners)
She actually dedicated the award to him at the awards show. I say "Boo" to the Teen Choice Awards for cutting it out of their footage! They were all about being "green" but they didn't pay enough attention to one of their young stars who noticed and remarked on the true "hero's" of the night!
Bravo Lauren!

20. I'm not really a fan of hers and don't watch the hills at all but what a nice thing to do. Bravo to her for not having an inflated ego.

21. It's nice to hear about a celebrity doing things to help improve the lives of other people rather than serving themselves like Paris, Brit, Lindsay, and Speidi. Lauren Conrad's
generosity regarding the thirteen year old patient is a testament to her character and a rare
example of a celebrity doing good for the community.

23. Why exactly is she getting a "teen choice" award? I guess this proves teens are idiots.

24. you say something about her budget. well i don't see you guys buying 2 million dollar homes. She has had the show for awhile, every season she gets more money. do you really think she is struggling?
She is probably worth more then all of you so called 'writers'.

29. Once again, LC has demonstrated her roots for compassion and I imagine this is a tid-bit of what we don't see.
