Assuming all of you have Instagram, you'll be aware of #nomakeupselfie, and although I think this is a bizarre way to get attention for a charity, it is working very well.
The idea of this hash-tag it to nominate somebody to take a picture of themselves without any make up on, in the caption you then nominate somebody else and put 'text BEAT to 70099 to donate'. All the money from these texts is going to Cancer Research, I don't know how much money this has actually made but I've donated and if anything more people are aware of Cancer Research.
However it does have some faults, what I find the most frustrating about this whole thing is the younger kids doing this; they have no intention of donating or actually raising awareness for Cancer, they probably don't even understand how serious Cancer is. Instead of putting the number for BEAT down, they simple just laugh about it and tag all of their friends thinking that this is just a game, and there are no words out there that can express my anger with this.
But if you are one of those loving, generous, caring people out there who know and understand how serious Cancer is, wants to help and are willing to donate a couple of pounds PLEASE donate £3 please text BEAT to 70099. The next time you're a Starbucks and are going to order a £3 hot chocolate or smoothie, instead thing that that money could be used to help save somebody's life.
