I’m not sure who you are (I can’t seem to stalk you on Facebook), so I presume you’re from STW.
Thanks for your donations! My daughter is very grateful – if a little bemused! – as to why someone that she’s never met, wishes to donate to her Children in Need total. I explained that by her getting off her backside (while millions of others do sod all) and doing her little triathlon she’s helped lots of kids who she’ll never know or will ever meet is essentially the same thing.
To those that don’t care for modern day telethons, I know where you’re coming from. I used to watch Comic Relief etc and always wanted to fast forward to the funny bits. I really was missing the point. Starving African children covered in flies and living with no hope just didn’t bother me when I was 18. Even Bob Geldof screaming “Give us your ++++++++ money” had little impact on me. Now I’ve got two healthy, outgoing, smart girls I realise just how lucky we are in this little bubble that we live in. I’m happy to donate and share the love.
The irony that Children in Need needs “Stars” to host and take part in these shows (paid or otherwise) is not lost. However, f it means that the “X-Factor generation” join in and share the love too, then it’s a means to an important end.
PS Millie’s total is now £1401.02 plus £243.75 in Gift Aid
