Have you heard about the 7 year old boy from Fulham?

Charlie Simpson wanted to raise money to help the Haiti guake victims. He decided to do a sponsored bike ride around South Park and had hoped to raise £500 for Unicef’s relief efforts in Haiti.

So far he has raised over £145,000 £153,000  £162,000  £173,000 £189,000 through his Justgiving Page. Let’s see if we can get him to £200,000. Update: Charlie has now raised over £201,000 and counting. Just go to his page and click on the donate button. Here is Charlie’s Justgiving Page again.

A day after his five-mile ride Charlie said: “My legs are a bit sore after the ride, but it was really fun.”

Charlies parents, Leonora and Dan are overwhelmed. They commented on Charlies Justgiving Page:

“To be honest, it is hard to know where to even begin thanking you all for your kind words, support and extraordinary generosity.  We could never have dreamed of, or envisaged a response like this.  Our friends and family obviously know how overwhelmed we are but I’m not sure how to convey our appreciation to those of you who we haven’t met before.  I’m just going to say a huge thank you to all of you who have contributed, and to those of you who continue to donate… it couldn’t have been done without you!!!!  THANK YOU!”

Well done Charlie, You are a star!
