British 7yr old Raises $160,000 for Haiti Relief

The feel-good story of the day. Boy raises money for Haiti by asking for donations to sponsor his bike ride around a local park. With the help of a fundraising site his efforts blew up and soon garnered the support from the Prime Minister himself. Now when I was his age I was stuffing Twinkies in my face and playing with little green Army men. I was a useless selfish prick by comparison. sad.

"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," said Simpson on his JustGiving page, a fundraising site which launched his efforts.

"I want to make some money to buy food, water and tents for everyone in Haiti," he said.
