Hello, I am a St. Jude Hero! I have chosen to run for a reason bigger than myself by fundraising for the kids and families at St. Jude. I am training to cross the finish line on race day and with your donation we can cross the fundraising finish line together because the money you donate helps find a cure for childhood cancer. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude won't stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. Donate today to help me reach my goal. Even when the race is over, the fight to end childhood cancer continues.

Since 2014 I have been raising money for the Children's Hospital of Colorado through an annual event known as Extra Life. Extra Life is an organization dedicated to raising money for children's hospitals around the nation through fundraising events. Over that time we have raised over $16,000, all of which have gone directly to the improvement of sick kids' lives. While everyone is encouraged to raise money anyway they want, the primary method most do is through a marathon livestream, where the participants play games! Whether it be video game, card games, table top games or others, people tune in to watch and even join in on the fun. These streams traditionally go for around 24 hours! I used to a 24 hour event every year, until I had a child, and now I can only do 16 or so! Which I will be doing live on November 1st, starting at 7am MST and going until at least midnight (or maybe even 1am). All the while we will having a rotating cast of interesting characters come by, we'll play games that even the audience can join in on, and most importantly, raise money! We will be streaming live form my Extra Life page here: https://www.extra-life.org/participants/Mark-Birdsall-Thomas. You can watch and even participate from there! We will have games that members of the audience can join in on! If you have anyone else in your life who would like to donate, you can send them that link. However, as Squarespace employees, we are all allowed $600 worth of matching donations! So, if you are reading this and would like to donate, I would recommend donating here to get that sweet matching donation! The $3000 goal here is to match the $3000 goal on my Extra Life portal with hopes we will reach that combined total across the two platforms! If you have any questions about this, or want to learn how you can join Extra Life on your own, reach out to me and I'd be happy to talk about it!

Its Summer! This means, the 2025-2026 school year is upon us. For many families, this is a stressful time, especially for youth residing in NE Oklahoma City. Their primary struggles are food and shelter, with school shopping never being an exciting event because for many it never happens. This Summer, we aim to add a little joy to the fears and first day jitters, by providing students with backpacks filled with supplies, at no cost to them. We accomplish this by gathering school supplies such as backpacks, pencils, crayons, notepads and more. This Summer, we are also accepting donations through Bright funds, with all proceeds going directly to the "Sox of Love," and helping to provide school supplies for their upcoming event scheduled; August 16th 2025, 845am-1230pm, at the "Laundry Station Express," located at; 1538 NE 23rd St. Oklahoma City OK. Be sure to include your first/last name when making a donation.

The Easton Area Community Center offers an 8-week, full day summer camp for the children in the area. We offer them the summer camp at a fraction of the average price compared to the rest of the state, taking into consideration they are coming from low income, and single parent homes. We do this with a heavy reliance on donors and sponsors. The 8-week program cost $2,500 per child, with us charging the families only $400 per child. We count on partnerships with programs in the area, corporate donations, and profit we make with our fundraisers to help cover as much of the cost as we can. Each year the cost is increasing, and those willing to sponsor are fewer and fewer, which makes it an increasingly difficult task.

Every child has the right to a safe and healthy childhood, and every child deserves to reach their full potential. But across the globe, gender inequalities continue to present considerable challenges for women and girls. Advancing gender equality strengthens economies and builds stable, resilient societies that give all individuals the opportunity to fulfill their potential. While strides have been made to close the gender parity gap, today 119 million girls who should be in secondary school are not. Every year, 12 million girls are married before their 18th birthday. And more than 800 women die each day from preventable complications in pregnancy and childbirth. To tackle the challenges facing women and girls, UNICEF is working around the world to advocate for their rights, to help meet their basic needs, and to expand the opportunities available to them. With your support, UNICEF can continue its efforts to accelerate gender equality and empower girls and women across the globe. Join us in relentlessly pursuing a better world where every woman and girl is healthy, educated, protected, and respected.

Today, millions of children continue to be caught in humanitarian crises that are growing in complexity and scale. Over 473 million children now live in areas affected by conflict. In conflict and disaster, children suffer first and most and are especially vulnerable to disease, malnutrition, and violence. UNICEF works to protect and assist children during emergencies, including refugee and migrant children, children caught in conflict and those affected by natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides. We are present in over 190 countries and territories before, during, and after emergencies, preparing, responding, and re-building with local communities. Examples of UNICEF’s humanitarian response include: State of Palestine: The aid blockade since March 2025, combined with more than 18 months of war and surging hostilities has caused devastating physical and mental impacts on children and their families in the State of Palestine, including alarmingly high casualties and displacement. UNICEF and partners are addressing the humanitarian needs of children and their families in a challenging humanitarian and security situation. During the January to March ceasefire, UNICEF scaled up its response and delivered nearly 1,000 truckloads of life-saving supplies into the Gaza Strip. UNICEF and partners had provided safe water to over 1.5 million people, cash assistance to 133,189 people, treated over 6,300 children for acute malnutrition, and vaccinated nearly 603,000 children with polio vaccine. Sudan: Ongoing conflict in Sudan has created one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises for children. Over 15 million children are in need of humanitarian assistance, with 11.3 million people displaced. As of March 2025, UNICEF and partners have screened 1.7 million children under five for malnutrition, with over 100,000 admitted for treatment of severe acute malnutrition, reached 1.2 million children with education opportunities, and provided mental health and psychosocial support to 1.4 million children and caregivers. UNICEF also helped 3 million people gain access to safe water and delivered 850,000 vaccines. Ukraine: UNICEF has been present in Ukraine since 1997 and expanded humanitarian assistance for children and families after the escalation of the war over three years ago. In 2025, UNICEF helped over 1.7 million people access safe water, reached more than 85,000 children with education support, and provided mental health and psychosocial care to over 44,000 children and caregivers, and equipped 900 health facilities received vaccine storage equipment. Inside Ukraine, UNICEF is ensuring children have access to health care, nutrition, education, safe water, mental health support, and more. In refugee hosting countries, UNICEF works with governments and local partners to strengthen national systems that provide refugee children and marginalized children from host communities with quality education, healthcare, and protection services. From to Yemen to Myanmar, Democratic Republic of Congo to Syria, UNICEF is relentlessly responding to emergencies in countries around the world. With your support UNICEF can continue this critical work providing children with lifesaving services.

Every day in the life of a child is important — and every day is an opportunity to pursue relentless action that brings the world closer to a future where every child is healthy and happy. With more than 75 years of expertise, across 190 countries, UNICEF works to protect children’s rights, help meet their basic needs, and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. Every day, children all over the world trust UNICEF to be there for them. Families trust UNICEF to help ensure their children are nourished, healthy, safe, and educated. Communities trust UNICEF to amplify their voice. Governments trust UNICEF to provide advice and support in shaping policies that affect millions. Partners and donors trust UNICEF to transform funding into effective action for children. UNICEF treasures this trust, and it is this trust that allows UNICEF to deliver lasting change for children. In 2024, among other results, UNICEF and partners reached more than 55 million people with safe drinking water, provided access to primary health care for more than 56 million children and women , and provided more than 34 million children with services for the early detection and treatment of child wasting (severe acute malnutrition) in high-risk settings. In 2025, UNICEF is continuing to work around the clock for children and their families across the world. Every dollar adds up to big impact: • $.85 can provide 50 MUAC bands (tools for the early detection of malnutrition in children 6-59 months) • $2.85 can provide 20 doses of the polio vaccine, or safe water to one child for 1 year • $3 could purchase 1 pack of 10 exercise books • $15 could provide a family with a small tent to act as a temporary shelter • $32 could purchase 1 emergency first aid kit (or 20 cholera testing kits) On behalf of children and families across the globe, thank you for your support.

A small non-profit but 100% run by unpaid volunteers including myself for many years, where every single penny goes to schooling or athletic programmes in remote villages in several African countries. Mostly in north east Kenya but also a few other locations like Houtbaai in South Africa. In a volatile world, it is important not to forget about these small but locally impactful projects. We work together with real local heroes such as Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon, herself a former beneficiary, and Haile Gebrselassie.
