Dan causes donation flood Article: Dan causes donation flood
Daniel Radcliffe's request that his fans send gifts to a children's hospice has caused a flood of donations at the center reports The Sun.
*
Potter's plea for prezzies
By JAMES TAPPER
HARRY Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has caused a flood of donations to a children’s hospice — after begging fans to send Christmas gifts to the charity instead of him.
Daniel, 13, and his family have been plagued by well-meaning fans who flock to his London home to deliver gifts.
It started after Daniel starred in the first movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
In the film Harry has been deprived of gifts by his foster family and gets his first prezzies when he goes to Hogwarts.
Ever since, fans have confused the movie with real life and sent Daniel presents on his birthday in July and at Christmas.
But this Christmas Daniel announced on his website that he wanted fans to give donations to a children’s hospice in Sittingbourne, Kent, instead.
He said on his website: “In the past my fans have been truly generous in sending me fantastic presents.
“I appreciate these and feel very fortunate to have such loyal fans.
“However, this Christmas, I would like to ask instead of sending me a gift they make a donation to Demelza House, a fantastic children’s hospice that I support.
“The spirit of the place is amazing and the people who work there are extraordinary. I feel very humble when I visit it.”
The hospice, which gives terminally ill kids a holiday, refused to comment last night. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-20040...4000336,00.html  | |

They probably refused to comment because they dont have any way of knowing where donations come from. Usually, they're anonoymous. So, it's probably a guess that Dan is why they got so many donations this year.
Age is an easy mistake to make. He's not that famous and so it's easier for the media to get it wrong. | |

If you were donating on Dan's behalf, you had to write it on the envelope ~ I should know, my friend sent something in and told me to find the address  | |

Right well then they probably refused to comment because donations aren't supposed to be done for publicity. They are meant to be anonymous. | |

Did anyone else notice this: Quote: Ever since, fans have confused the movie with real life and sent Daniel presents on his birthday in July and at Christmas. GRR! Those idiots. Fans didn't send Dan stuff because they were 'confused' they sent them because they like Dan. Actors get sent stuff all the time from fans. I just hate this like because it makes Dan's fans sound stupid.
Anyway, I'm glad that the hospice was given a boost by Dan's Christmas wish. I'm just not really impressed with this article... it's like they were looking for a story.
