Better causes to donate to than Shaun Quincey's phone bill!

I have been absolutely disgusted tonight...to see on Facebook, the 3 News Fan page, publicising the details of where people can make donations to help Shaun Quincey cover his Trans Tasman phone bill.

WT....???? No one forced this guy to get in his little boat and row across the Tasman! What's the big deal about doing that anyway?  If he thinks it is a big deal and he wants to do that..which he clearly did...that's his choice, but why should anyone else pay one cent towards it? Or his flipping phone bill?

I am seriously changing to One News. If TV3 can't think of needier and better causes to promote than some narcissistic athlete's phone bill...then i just can't take them seriously.

Here is a list of better causes that you can donate to...in the event that you are feeling in a generous, donating mood, at any stage in the near future. These were just off the top of my head. I can come up with more, if any of these do not appeal.

These causes help people that are in need, through no fault of their own.

Supporting Families in Mental Illness
The Ronald Mcdonald House
SPCA 
Shine - Safer Homes in NZ Everyday
 SPINZ - Suicide Prevention Information New Zealand
Skylight - Helping Young People Through Grief
The Child Cancer Foundation

Lifeline - 0800 111 777
Youthline - 0800 376 633

I will add more tomorrow...these were just off the top of my head. I think someone who commented underneath me on the 3 news thread, put it nicely...

GET STUFFED SHAUN.

Nice.
