Paul Rudd Asks Donations Be Made To The American Cancer Society In Honor Of His Birthday!

Hey look! It’s a trend! Amazing!

For our birthday this year, in lieu of presents, we asked that donations be made to this amazing charity, GLSN, and we were so thrilled when we were able to make a real difference and people donated above and beyond what we had even wished for! We can’t thank you all enough!

It seems our good deed is catching on as other celebrities are promoting the same acts of kindness to honor their own birthdays. Turns out,Paul Rudd is running a campaign to collect donations for the American Cancer Society. He’s asking friends, family and fans to donate money equal to your age (ex. if you’re 25, you donate $25) to help this amazing organization that sponsors support groups for those with cancer and programs attempting to fight it.

On the donations webpage, which you get to by clicking HERE, Paul explains:

“For nearly 100 years, the American Cancer Society has been working to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. The movement for more birthdays is about everyday people, just like you and I, coming together to make a difference. This year more than 11 million cancer survivors will celebrate another birthday, thanks in part to the progress ACS has already made.

My dad died of cancer.

It’s horrible. I miss him so much and think of him every day. Before he was diagnosed, I never really thought about cancer. It’s not one of those subjects any of us choose to spend our time thinking about. Since he died, I’ve learned that every one out of every two men and one out of every three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

That means all of us have either had cancer or known someone who has been diagnosed with cancer.

With every person who joins the movement, we can get closer to the day when cancer never steals another year from someone├óΓé¼Γäós life.”

Such an important cause. We’re so pleased to see him and so many others taking the initiative like this.

Paul is a little over half-way to his goal and his birthday is TODAY! Give him something truly special to celebrate! CLICK HERE to donate!
