A few years ago at a time I was vaccinating people against rabies I saw this video by Alexander McCall Smith:

The charity he is talking about works towards eradicating rabies through programmes to vaccinate both dogs and people.

If you need further motivation to donate, watch

More people die of rabies every year than died in the 2014 ebola outbreak, and this is a disease that is 100% preventable.

Would you help me celebrate 50 years of my life, by donating some money to this worthwhile cause?  I'm asking people to do this instead of giving a present.  Please consider donating anonymously and not put anyone off from making making small (or big!) donations.  I’m not ticking off who gives !!

Thank you.
