Alyson's Five-You're never too young to make a difference in the world!



So I just realized that even though my Fifth Five is hugely important to me, other than keeping my vow to uphold my end of it, I've yet to post anything about some of the incredible people who are reaching far beyond their own self interests to do something positive in the world.

And when I read THIS, I knew I had to start here!

For those of you who are click shy, the story I'm referring to is that of Charlie Simpson--a seven year old boy from West London who, wanting to do his part for the people in Haiti, ended up raising the equivalent of $240,000.00 to aid them!!

How awesome is that?

And it just goes to show that you're never too young (or too old!) to make a difference!

Also, on the Random Acts of Charity front, well, I'm gearing up to donate a ton of stuff I no longer need . . . but I'm not done yet, so more on that to come . . .


What about you? Are you living your Five?
