Armitage Day is August 22: Reminders!

What an emotional day — my feelings have run the total gamut in every direction. I’m tired, and have more driving to do, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to post once I get “home,” and I should be back at that soon. Since my next Legenda will come quite close to Armitage’s birthday, however, for tonight, here are reminders of what’s happening, especially for stuff that you’ll want to do before the birthday. I expect there’ll be a lot of interesting stuff to appear on Armitage Day itself, as well! No pressure. I haven’t even thought about what I’m doing yet.

Hands down, though, and I’m feeling especially mushy about this tonight, after ItsJSforMe’s story, reblogged below — is doing some good because Richard Armitage has done so much good for us fans. What a class act. My favorite suggestion of something to do for Armitage’s birthday? Send him a present via a donation at JustGiving! When I urge people to consider a gift to Armitage’s listed charities, I don’t want them to neglect the charities they already support. Still, it’s fairly personal for me. In fact, I’ve been a huge beneficiary of charity myself, so I spent all of last August blogging about charity, specifically urging people to donate to ChildLine, which is my favorite of his charity choices.
