Over 365 days Luke Cameron did 365 Good Deeds or Random Acts of Kindness
At the start of this year Luke Cameron made a new years resolution to do a good deed or random act of kindness every single day. Today marks my 365th good deed, the final one. In celebration Cameron gave away £365 in £5 notes and documented the reactions. A heartwarming video.
Speechless! Whilst buying my parking ticket today at the forum car park some guy came up and offered to pay for my ticket. After he paid he then opened his wallet and gave me a lottery ticket, saying that it was a winning ticket and he wanted me to have it with a small card reading. "Dear Stranger, Today I have done a random act of kindness for you. Pay it forward and do a good deed for a stranger in return." The ticket was worth £25! Whoever you are, thank you. What an amazing thing to do for somebody. God bless you. I will do my RAK tomorrow.
The 'NekNominate' drinking craze was widely critised when it was thought to have led to as many as five deaths after participants drank lethal cocktails of alcohol. But Luke Cameron, 26 from Tuffley, Gloucestershire, decided to turn the trend around by starting 'RakNominate' - encouraging people to carry out random acts of kindness. When a video of him paying for a stranger's takeaway went viral he decided to do a good deed every day for a year - and now he has reached his 100th by giving away his Nintendo Wii. [NekNomination: DJ refuses to take part by drinking coffee instead] His RakNominations have so far included buying meals for strangers, cooking food for the homeless, helping neighbours, or simply spending time with lonely relatives. 'RakNominate' founder Luke Cameron from Gloucester, who has carried out 100 good deeds since the new year. (SW … Luke decided to give away a Nintendo Wii games console to a deserving youngster and has launched a competition to decide the winner. He said: "I started the good deed diary after going through both a lot as a child with my own heart surgery and having lost somebody close to me last year through cancer. "I have been around the world in the past two years and have seen all levels of living from the rich and famous to the poor and poverty stricken and wanted to do something that disregards social status. [No Make-Up Selfies Raise £2m For Cancer Group] "We all need help sometimes and giving a little extra hand to those people who need and deserve it most is the aim of the diary. "I have reached 100 good deeds and wanted to make it a milestone event so went through my possessions and decided that I really don't need my Nintendo Wii and that it could go to a much better and more deserving home. "I thought to myself I have this and there are kids out there that would kill for one of these things, so I'm giving it away to a little kid who really deserves it." Luke's Good Deed Facebook page which is helping to spread the message. (Facebook) Luke's good deeds have earned him more than 550 likes to his Facebook page called 'The Good Deed Diary' and they are also detailed on his website www.thegooddeeddiary.com. Shop worker Luke says he never has any idea what the good deed of the day will be but looks for every opportunity to help others. For example he once visited a Subway shop and after purchasing his own meal left £4 behind the till to pay for the next customer's lunch. [Batkid: Donors Pay San Francisco's $105k Bill] He said he has had a fantastic response since setting up the blog at the beginning of the year. He added: "I don't have a favourite good deed as they've all been special but I feel a massive satisfaction when people come back to me to say I've inspired them to do something good. "I had one email from a man who said he'd given his coat to a homeless man on his way to work as he saw him shivering in the rain - that felt amazing." Luke went to a Subway and left (£4.00) behind the till and told staff to use the money to pay for the next … A number of his friends and family have been inspired to do good deeds following the release of his blog. And a Facebook group called 'RAKNomination - Random Act of Kindness' has been created where people are encouraged to record themselves carrying out a good deed. Thomas Owen posted: "I saw some RAKNomination- Random Act Of Kindness videos and felt compelled to get involved. Today I popped into the Bristol Royal Children's Hospital with a couple of bags filled with books, games, toys and a small DVD collection." Generous car dealer Richard King, of Poole Keynes, Gloucestershire also caught the online trend and decided to give a grieving mother a fully taxed and insured smart car. He handed the keys to the £3,000 car to Hayley Gooden - whose three-year-old daughter Shaniqwa tragically died from a brain tumour - after inviting nominations for people who were worthy of the car. For his Nintendo Wii giveaway, Luke is asking parents to nominate children who may be deserving - perhaps because of illness or acts of kindness themselves. People can nominate via his diary at facebook.com/thegooddeeddiary. Deadline for the competition is May 1 and Luke will announce the winner a couple of days later on his Facebook page.
My Second #RAKnomination From the success of the last #RAKnomination video and I was also requested on my Facebook page, today I fed a homeless guy. My new years resolution was to do a good deed every day which I have been blogging about on my facebook page The Good Deed Diary. So for my good deed today I did the below.... This video was also inspired by other good deed'ers and their #RAKnominations of feeding the homeless. It's so easy to walk past and judge but unless you ask them why they are on the streets, you will never know their story. Some people just have really bad luck, fall into a pit and unfortunately are unable to get themselves out of it. We are all human and we all deserve compassion, no matter who you are! Please watch the video to see my Random Act of Kindness (RAK) If you guys want to check out my Good Deed Diary you can see the facebook page below and follow the hashtag #gooddeeddiary https://www.facebook.com/thegooddeeddiary http://thegooddeeddiary.com Thanks for watching! #RAKnomination #FeedTheDeed
First there were Neknominations - a drinking game where friends challenged each other to down various connoctions - now there are Raknominations. That stands for Random Acts of Kindness.
