Over the past few weeks we have on a daily bases seen our friends and family, and even glimpses of celebrities all take part in the #Icebucket challenge. This is  where a bucket of ice cold water is poured over themselves to raise money for charity. It seems we have now switched as predicted from ice bucket crazy to pie in the chops “doubtfire face” challenge. I think I’m one of the only people not to have accepted the challenge, my reasons are I simply don’t believe in the concept behind them.

What a waste of water and pies when millions of people worldwide are without food or precious water! Surely people can simply donate money to charity without the wastage? Just keep it simple, no gimmicks , just pure giving to charity because you want to…

So I began to think about how I could do my bit without compromising my beliefs. I decided that over September and October I will donate 10% from the paintings I sell to Macmillan for Cancer
