Mick Foley AKA Mankind AKA Cactus Jack AKA Dude Love is commonly known for being one of the most famous and respected professional wrestlers of all time. But theres more to this hulking man than his wrestling career could sum up.

When he finally got the opportunity to meet Amos in 2008, she turned him onto an organization with which he would become very involved: RAINN.
Foley is a member of the National Leadership Council for the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN), an organization for which Amos was the original spokesperson.
He is constantly raising funds for and making large donations to RAINN. He auctioned off his priceless wrestling memorabilia (including Mr. Socko) and donated half of his advance from his memoir, Countdown to Lockdown.

He sponsors children for ChildFund International as well. The other half of the advance from his memoir went to them.
