In honour of James's 30th birthday I opened a special
fund-raising page from JMMB that will accept donations for The British Red Cross.
It will stay open for ONE WHOLE YEAR, so we can see how much we raised just in time for his next birthday.
Why The Red Cross?

Does James know?
I sent a card to James for his birthday.��
It has the fund-raising page address on it, so who knows.. he may check it out!
So if you wish to leave a message for James to read there, just donate and add a comment!
This is the card:

inside:
Now we only have to hope he has a film out within the next 12 months, so we may get some more traffic through here!
What does JMMB do to raise funds?
I will keep updates of the progress we make and of any special projects to raise funds over the coming year in this thread.
If you have an idea's for special projects or other ways to raise more funds, post them in here as well.

Why The Red Cross?
Actor James McAvoy supports the British Red Cross' work overseas.
Most recently James travelled to northern Uganda with us to highlight the forgotten humanitarian crisis there.
He became interested in the region after appearing in the film The Last King of Scotland.
"It's amazing to think that some of the people I met have been in these camps for five, ten, sometimes even 15 years. The conditions in the camps were awful and it's horrific to think this has been going on for so long and that so few people actually know about it," he said. "The Red Cross is providing essential support to those in the camps and also to those who are starting to return home."

What does JMMB do to raise funds?
- For the coming year all profits from T-shirt sales that normally go towards ad-free pages for the board, will now go to this fund-raising page instead.
- I have asked our monthly donor to also change her contribution for the board to a regular donation to the fundraising page instead.
- I will do a monthly manip or cartoon for the page to keep people visiting the page

I donated what I could.. I think this is a lovely thing Hannah! (too bad the
GBP and CAD exchange rate are BRUTAL or I'd donate more
)
But if people start
donating again, I will start it back up 
Hannah! ;-)
