There have been quite a lot of comments going around about how the no make-up selfie is a stupid idea and that donations to a cancer charity would be more beneficial. While I obviously agree that donations are the best way of helping, surely both is even better? I was 'nominated' by a friend to do the selfie to raise awareness - it's definitely done that.
Some people use FB to show pictures of their kids, arty shots of their lunch, holiday photos, and those silly 'colour of your pants', or 'where you leave your handbag' posts.
I recently donated to this - https://www.maggiescentres.org/fundraising/events/dylans-big-beardy-challenge-vote-to-shave-keep-or-trim/
And to this - https://www.justgiving.com/Sarah-Robertson14/
And did a blog about the fantastic Maggie's Centre - http://nothingbettertoodoo.blogspot.co.uk/ , with a follow-up blog on its way...
If my daft picture of me with no make-up on can get loads of people talking about cancer, and maybe even just a small percentage of those people then donate something, then surely it's worth it?
Isn't it?
