About 3 p.m. Wednesday, a distraught woman jumped out of her car and ran toward the edge on the westbound Tacoma Narrows bridge. Strangers ran after her and were able to hold on and not let go.

What would you do if you saw someone trying to jump off a bridge and end it all? Would you stop? Do you care? A couple of Ron and Don listeners weighed in.

Lex: "Hey if people want to jump. Let em jump."

James: "I was thinking they could erect a huge trampoline, but then realized they probably sue the city when they were injured bouncing into the bridge."

More than a million children regularly go to bed hungry in the US, according to a government report that shows a startling increase in the number of families struggling to put food on the table. This, as the unemployment rate in Seattle continues to climb. Many residents may be taking charity for the first time this holiday season.

Are you involved with a group who plans on helping those in need?

Let us know about the charity you're involved with. Leave a brief description of the charity, with organization contact information so others might help your cause.

This week, to coincide with the release of Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue", Newsweek's editors decided to print two essays about the former Alaska Governor and have her image grace the cover. The photo chosen was from a shoot Palin had participated in for Runner's World magazine. Palin has called the cover photo "sexist."

The King County sheriff's office says a man who had been reported as missing nearly two years ago has been found alive and well, living in another state. 28-year-old Nicholas Francisco was supposedly heading home to bake cookies with his children when he dropped out of sight Feb. 13, 2008, after leaving work.

Ron & Don had Francisco's wife Christine in-studio with them a few days after her husband Nicholas disappeared.

The Ron & Don Show broadcast live Thursday from the foot of the Space Needle to raise money for the family of fallen Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton, an event a listener suggested we call "Arms Around Our Officers." The effort raised more than $20,000 for the family of Officer Brenton, and collected hundreds of messages for Officer Brenton and his partner, injured Officer Britt Sweeney.

The effort to help continues, however. If you'd like to make a donation to the "Brenton Family Assistance Fund," you can do so at any Bank of America branch location. And you are welcome to send us checks, cards and letters and we'll send those along to the responsible parties. Our address at KIRO is 1820 Eastlake Ave. E., Seattle, WA 98102. And emailed messages can be sent to armsaroundourofficers@973kiro.com.

Please listen to the audio file below for a special message from Ron and Don regarding "Arms Around Our Officers." The Ron & Don Show will broadcast live from the foot of the Space Needle Thursday afternoon, as part of a tribute to fallen Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton, his partner Officer Britt Sweeney, and law enforcement officers everywhere who sacrifice so much to keep us safe.

Come out and support our Police Officers. Ron & Don will be at the base of the Space Needle (on the circular drive off Broad St.) from 3p.m. to 7p.m. collecting your well wishes and thanks to hand off to the family of Officer Brenton and Sweeney.

Ron & Don are keeping us posted with photos from the event. View full photo gallery.

Throughout "Arms Around Our Officers," Ron and Don will be expressing their feelings about the two brave officers who met with tragedy Saturday night, and about our appreciation for the job law enforcement does to preserve the very fabric of our society. Ron and Don invite you to express your feelings as well, and we've created a special email address to help you do so: armsaroundourofficers@973kiro.com.

We invite you to click on the email link (or copy and paste it) and compose a message for Officer Sweeney, the family of Officer Brenton, or both, and we will forward your message appropriately. In particular, if you can't join Ron and Don tomorrow between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Seattle Center for "Arms Around Our Officers," use this new email address to express your thoughts. We know your support is very much appreciated by Officer Sweeney, and it's essential for us to let the family of Officer Brenton know that he died a hero and that they are not alone.

If you'd like to make a donation to the "Brenton Family Assistance Fund," you can do so at any Bank of America branch location.
