Doing something positive...
5 years ago
Did you know I'm going to be forty this year?
Like my birthday is pretty much a non event every year. I do nothing special for it, nothing gets organised...I maybe do like a free sketch stream or stream for folk or do a giveaway of some kind and thats that (I didnt even get cake last year due to lockdown) but I was like...dont worry I'll have this MASSIVE party for my fortieth to make up for all the non birthdays. Covid will be gone by 2021....
The UK is STILL in quite a considerable lockdown and truth be told by June the likelyhood of the UK being back to a level of normality where I could organise a party is..even in my optimistic outlook on life....slim.
So Screw the party. Let's do something different.
My birthday is the 4th of june....that gives me Just under 5 months to attempt to do the biggest charity fundraiser I've tried to date, and this is ridiculous ok but it's better to aim high.
40k before I hit 40
https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/40-by-40
It's got a nice ring to it. All the info is there in that link, but basically I wanna raise money for 4 different charities that all reflect some aspect of my life. A family poverty charity, a suicide prevention charity, a LGBTQ+ mental health charity and an animal charity. Any money I raise will be split evenly between the four. None of the money will go to me.
I've got a few fundraising ideas.
I'm gonna try and lose 40lbs before my birthday (thats 2lb a week so should be doable)
I wanna do 40 days of 10k steps a day (Im barely managing 3k steps a day working from home at the moment so that'll be quite a challenge.)
If anyone has any fund raising ideas or wanna help me please get in contact, but generally if everyone who watches me could donate $5 I'd make that 40k goal easily (though I know its unlikely)
I guess I just want to prove to a section of the furry community that just because you're over 30 it doesnt mean your life has to stop or that you cant do unbelievable things. Anyway...if you cant donate could you please maybe help spread the word. I don't normally ask of these things but if a lot of us get together and do something small then amazing things can happen.
Help me make my 40th birthday something worth remembering.

Wow. 40. I never would have guessed to be honest. But congrats on making it this far in these strange, chaotic, uncertain times!
And now you’ve got my morbid curiosity going as I’m curious as to what some of those reasons are. XD
Incidentally, I shall be turning 40 this year as well just a few months after you... *waits patiently for life to 'begin'*
But really, good luck! You can do it!

That fact that you are taking this personal milestone and using it to direct energy and help outwards is just one of many reasons you are such a wonderful person.
Good luck.
They were doing trials in Iowa in the USA.
They found that only in developed country's are the only places that have crone's.

I wish you'll achieve all of your goals and fundraiser will work out :)
Just, be careful not to push yourself too hard or be too hard on yourself, okay 'kay?
Somehow interesting is to celebrate it as months instead of years.
37 years, 37 months.. my brain conveniently exchanges one for the other sometimes.
Just go with it and enjoy this weird ride called life!
I will try to support but in the next months, right now everything is crazy.
