It's gonna be cold...

So for the last 30 or so hours, I've been following the wonderfulness that is John and Hank Green as they've been conducting an amazing fundraising project. Now in it's 6th year, Project for Awesome is an annual event that aims to decrease world suck by raising money for various charities, using Youtube as a platform. The Youtube community comes together, creating videos to promote their favourite charities. The videos are then voted on by the public, and the top 5 split the donated money between them!

This is the first year I've seen Project for Awesome, and it is pretty um... well, awesome! John and Hank (along with a few guest hosts) have been livestreaming for about 30 hours now, and the total so far is closing in on $375,000! Amazing stuff!

Now, to say I'm inspired is a slight understatement, so I've decided to do something I've been talking about doing for the last couple of years - a Christmas Day swim! Basically, first thing on Christmas morning I'll be jumping into the sea near where I live in order to raise money for 2 amazing charities. The charities I've selected are the Children's Leukaemia Association and Operation Smile. Both of these organisations do incredible work and are very deserving of donations! I'm hoping to raise €100 but honestly, I'll be happy with anything!  

So if anyone feels like sponsoring me to jump in the freezing cold Atlantic, click the link below! 

(I'm hilarious!)

Huge thanks go to anyone who donates, it is hugely appreciated! 

P.S. John and Hank also do a really awesome webseries called Crash Course, which is well worth checking out!
