7 Year-Old Brit Raises $200K For Haiti
January 29, 2010 – 7:06 am
After seeing images of Haitian children being pulled from the rubble, 7 year-old Charlie Simspon of Fulham, West London decided he wanted to do something. With the goal of raising $500 for UNICEF he asked people to sponsor him on a 5-mile bike ride around a local park.
Once the media caught hold of the story, and Prime Minister Gordon Brown even tweeted about it, the sponsors poured in, and when it was all said and done Simpson had raised over $200,000. Another great example that anyone can make a difference if they choose to.
