Choice Cause

I've never had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Mira but anyone that inspires this sort of support has got to be a really awesome person.

Mira has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of melanoma and her amazing friends have set up the following things to help support her and her family while Mira recovers.

They are hosting a charity auction on February 9 in Auckland to fundraise for her. There is some cool stuff up for grabs including tickets to various gigs (PIXIES!!!), a notebook computer, artwork by various New Zealand artists, and a whole lot of other things. You can buy tickets fromUndertheradar. For the price of a ticket you get food, drink, and performances by Lisa Crawley (who is lovely) and Family Cactus. I'm sure it'll be a fun night out. There are rumours of a convoy being organised from Wellington or a group flight but I'll update you about that if I hear anymore.

If you can't make it to the auction, you can donate atwww.givealittle.co.nz/cause/mira. Every amount helps so even if you are a poor, struggling student or just poor and struggling, you could forego that morning coffee and donate the $3.50 or round it up to a nice even $10.00. Another option is to go to the Facebookpage and they have details for an account if you don't have a credit card.

'Help Mira' is for a lovely person who many of you probably know. It doesn't take much to donate something little, or something big. Go on, be a choice person yourself.
