Last Lecture Professor Randy Pausch, 47, Dies

Very sad news today - I was so touched by the words Randy Pausch spoke at his “Last Lecture” back in September 2007. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September 2006 - Pausch committed his life to doing exactly what he’d been doing his whole life - loving it, and in this “Last Lecture” - he tells the story of how he led the good life and his thoughts on raising kids to dream.

If you haven’t seen it - you should watch it in its entirety here.

Be prepared to cry.

UPDATE: I made a donation to the Lustgarten Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research in honor of Randy Pausch. Consider doing the same.
