7 Year Old Biker on a Mission

Saw this story on Bikehacks.com and I just had to share it with you all. The basic story is that Charlie, a 7 year old boy, wanted to do something to raise money for the Haiti earthquake relief. So he decided to raise £500 by riding his bike five miles around his local park.

Well as of today, Charlie has raised over £150,000 (that's over 241,935 U.S. dollars.)

Amazing what a 7 year old on a bike can do.. And to think when I was 7, I was just happy with putting playing cards on the spokes for that "motorcycle effect."
