I like to think of myself as somewhat philanthropic, so I figured this would be a good way to achieve a number of things:
1) Give to a good cause that could really benefit from a donation
2) Gain recognition for my blog and gain exposure - because, let's face it, that's why most of us are here
3) Encourage steemers to engage and to allow anyone to put forward a suggestion for a worthy cause
4) Give steemers a chance to actually select the charities which I donate to
So here's how it'll work - For every upvote this post gets from now until Saturday 30th July 1700 GMT (to prevent me from potentially going bankrupt), I will donate £1 to a charity of your choosing. I will split the donations between 3 charities - the 3 most upvoted comments that suggest charities.
Just to clear things up - I won't be withdrawing anything from this post, I will be paying the money out of my own pocket. I will, of course, post proof of the donations once they've been made!
