Today Matt filmed a promotional video for his Leeds Rugby’s BUPA Great North Run which takes place this Sunday.  As part of the promotion he also did a question and answer segment on the Leeds Rugby Foundation Twitter for a half hour this afternoon.  The video was released earlier this evening and may be watched below:

Last week Matthew Lewis let everyone know that he would be participating in Leeds Rugby’s BUPA Great North Run and today he’s tweeted the link to donate on his behalf.  You can either visit this link, or if you are in the UK (not sure if this works internationally) you can text  MATT24 plus £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to 70070.  Matt has this to say to everyone who donates:

“I really appreciate everyone who is supporting us whilst we take on this challenge.  I have been training hard as I know what fantastic work Leeds Rugby Foundation does in the community and am keen to raise as much money as possible to help them continue their great projects.  Any support that you can give will help us to reach our fundraising target and keep us motivated for every step of the 13 miles so a huge thank you!!”

And, he shared this lovely photo from after a training session.

Harry Potter fan Becca is raising money for LUMOS as a gift to Potter author J.K. Rowling for her birthday.  If giving Jo a great birthday present isn’t enough to make you want to donate, this might help: All donations will be entered to win one of many great prizes, including a signed photo of Matthew! If you would like to be entered into the prize draw please have a read of the FAQs/Ts&Cs before donating as they contain important info.

Some more information on the fundraiser may be read below:

What is Light Up Jo’s Birthday?

JK Rowling’s 48th birthday is on the 31st July 2013. Every year, fans come together to create projects for Jo’s birthday- books, videos and websites filled with messages of love for the woman who changed the lives of millions around the world. But actions speak louder than words, so what better way to express our love for Jo than by helping a cause close to her heart?

Last year, in Light Up Jo’s Birthday’s first year, we raised over £1,000 for Lumos. Jo said it was one of the best birthday presents she had ever received. So what are we going to do this year? We’re going to do it bigger and better!

Who are Lumos?

Lumos is a charity founded by JK Rowling which aims to end the institutionalisation of children around the world. To find out more, hover over Lumos’s logo to the left. Last year the money raised by Light Up Jo’s Birthday went towards making a school accessible, so that disabled children can attend mainstream school and stay with their families instead of having to go into an institution.

If everyone who reads this donated just £1, which is less than the cost of sending Jo a birthday card, we could make a real difference to many children’s lives again.
