A Seven Year Old Hero

Who says you have to be an adult to make a difference? Charlie Simpson raised $240,000 for UNICEF for Haiti. His message was simple:

“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,” he said.

With the aide of the internet this little boy has not only achieved his goal but surpassed it! It’s stories like these that reaffirm why the internet is a powerful tool. Hats off to you Charlie, keep up the good work!
