Hi, I am Paul and I do a lot for charity. I like helping people, so I try to do many things. Listen to some of the things I’ve done. I’ve parachuted out of an aeroplane. I’ve run a marathon. I’ve sold things at a stall in a market. I’ve sold tickets to a bouncy castle at a fair and I’ve been on a telethon loads of times. I was tired after the marathon and I was really scared in the aeroplane, but I’m happy I did those things! Next week, I’m cycling from London to Paris to raise money for a new charity which helps people who can’t see very well. The money I raise will help someone to get better, I hope. I haven’t cycled very much in my life, so it’s going to be very interesting. It’s a long journey and I’ll be really tired, but I think it will be fun too.
There are lots of other things you can do to help people through charity. I’ve raised money for schools. I’ve given money to poor people in Africa. I’ve helped to build a school in South America. I enjoyed all of the things I’ve done. I love charity events, and I love meeting people. Don’t waste your time watching TV or playing on your computer, come and help!
