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

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

Lauren Conrad met the kid, Pat Pedraja, at a Teen Choice pre-party Saturday.

There, she presented him with $10,000 check from Do Something for his work recruiting bone marrow donors from minorities across the country.

Not only that, The Hills star personally slipped him a new iPod Touch she filled with her favorite music (not sure if that's a good thing).

It's nice to hear a story like this from a celebrity - especially our girl, who has gotten some bad PR of late. Good job, Lauren!
