Backstory! Why am I doing this?

Hey everyone! So just an explaination as to why I'm doing this. As you may or may not know, I am turning 16 on April 16th. For the last few weeks, I had been thinking really hard about what I want for my birthday and, after much thought, I realized something crazy. I didn't want anything. I have a nice phone, a new bicycle, a school laptop, a desktop at home, TV at my disposal, all the books in the world, wonderful friends, food, a roof over my head and so much more. I have been so blessed to have, quite literally, everything I could want or need. So I started thinking about what else I could do. And after a while, I decided on this. For the next 16 days, up until (and technically a bit past this, because I started just under a day late...) my birthday on April 16th, I want to try and raise $1,600 for the charity "Doctors without Borders". This is my chance to give back to God's children in my own little way. It's not much in the grand scheme of things. There are so many problems in this world, but this is something I'd like to do. and I really really REALLY hope you guys can help me give back to the world that has nurtured me and helped me grow physically, mentally and spiritually in the last 16 years of my life. So yeah! Thanks again for helping me out! I hope that you can all help me have an amazing 16th Birthday!!!!!

God bless,
Daniel
