Holly Miles hasn't added a story.
Hey! So I'm Holly, and I'm from the UK and I've started watching Supernatural when I was 17 back in 2013. I instantly fell in love with it and it's helped me through a lot of hard times. Jared Padalecki especially has had a huge impact on me, particularly with the Always Keep Fighting campaign.
Last year at Asylum 14, I gave Jared a book filled with stories and pictures from over 200 people across the world, and raised just over $100 for To Write Love on her Arms. It was a challenge but I was so happy with the result - and Jared's reaction made it all worth it! He was so grateful and enthusiastic about it, and it meant so much that he loved it so much.
After watching the HousCon panels the other day, like I always do after every convention, I was reminded how happy Jensen and Jared make me, so I wanted to do a little something to make them smile too. I had thought of another project to do for this convention, but after Jared was announced a lot later than Jensen, I decided there wasn't enough time to get it going - but I still wanted to do something. And here we are!
It’s a really simple project and will raise a bit of money for their charities at the same time.
So, here’s how to get involved!
Step One: Finish these sentences/write a small paragraph with these as the starters (100 words max)
“Jensen Ackles is….”
“Jared Padalecki is…”
As simple as that, BUT:
1. Maximum 100 words
2. Keep it as light-hearted and as fun as you can.
3. You can send in a picture too if you want!
Step Two: Donate £1.50 (or your currency’s equivalent) to the fundraiser per J. - So £3 if you want to send a sentence/paragraph for both Jensen&Jared. Or more if you want to!
Current conversion rates (correct as of February 17th):
£1.50 = $2.15
£1.50 = €1.92
£1.50 = $2.97CAD
These are approximate and may change!
DONATIONS NOW OPTIONAL. :)
The money raised will go to The Pack Fund, Jared&Jensen's fund set up that goes to several causes important to them - I'm going to try and find out if there is a way to donate directly. If this isn't possible, there will be a poll to decide where the money should go - preferably a 50/50 split between a charity Jared supports, and a charity Jensen supports.
NOTE: Fundrazr takes a 7.9% fee, and 20p, per donation. This means that with a £1.50 donation, approx. 78% (£1.18 approx) is donated to the cause, and for a £3 donation, approx 85% (£2.56) goes to the cause. If you would like 100% of your donation to go to the cause, you can donate directly to my PayPal upon request.
And that’s it! I’ll put all the completed sentences/paragraphs into a little book for each of them. They receive a lot of books full of inspiring, wonderful stories, and they appreciate them so much, but I wanted to do something just a little different and keep it very light-hearted and positive. Especially with Jared, who has opened up about his struggles with self-doubt, I thought it’d be nice for them to have a little something with short messages on why they’re amazing.
Suggestions:
- If you’ve met them, maybe talk about a funny experience you had meeting them, for example a photo op or autograph story.
- Mention something you love about them and their personalities - like how dedicated they are, how goofy Jared can be, how Jensen smiles at everyone when he meets them as if greeting an old friend (he really does, trust me)?
- Say how they’ve affected you, but please keep it positive and uplifting. :)
***Send your complete sentences either through the SUBMIT feature on the tumblr, or to jaredkeepfighting@gmail.com *** by April 18th - this allows me time to get the books ready in time for the convention.
I’m really excited about this project, hopefully it’ll take off and we’ll raise a bit of money for some awesome causes!
