Donations pour in to slain Rolling Hills Estates' attorney's favorite charity
As we reported at the time of his death, Jeffrey Tidus was preparing to run a marathon to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
On Dec. 7, he had spent the evening in his wife's toy store in Redondo Beach bringing
awareness to his fundraiser.
Later that evening, someone shot the attorney outside his Rolling Hills Estates home. He died the next morning.
Detectives are investigating.
I received a call today from Sarah Harris, campaign director at the Leukemia society, to tell me about this. At the time of his death, Tidus had raised $1,825.
The figure is now at $5,127 and the checks are still arriving.
"It's so moving to see that so many people cared for him and were willing to support his dream," Harris said.
Many people also have offered condolence messages to his family.
"We want to honor Jeff's memory and hope our contribution helps in the fight for Leukemia," one donor wrote.
