Seven year old Charlie Simpson from London saw the images from Haiti on television and decided to do something about it. Charlie launched his efforts with a simple message: “My name is Charlie Simpson, I want to do a sponsored bike ride for Haiti because there was a big earthquake and loads of people have lost their lives. I want to make some money to buy food, water and tents for everyone in Haiti.” Now everyone from the Prime Minister to Simon Cowell have recognized him for his efforts. What started out as a simple bike ride to raise a little money has turned into almost $300,000 for UNICEF through his fundraising page. This inspires me to do much, much more for others and instill this same spirit of love in my own young children.
