Medecins Sans Frontieres (also known as Doctors without Borders) is an independent humanitarian organisation that provides medical care throughout the world, regardless or race, religion or politics. It was formed in 1971. It 1999 it won the Nobel Peace Prize; see:

It is currently offering aid in over 60 countries.

Here are a number of their website;
MSF(UK)

MSF(US) (Doctors without Borders)

MSF(Australia)

The MSF(UK) youtube channel is here;

Where you will find the videos used in the making of this video and in particular the Head of MSF(UK), Marc DuBois' "thank you" video (made after last year's event).

This year's event is taking place with the full knowledge and support of MSF(UK). Indeed Marc DuBois will be appearing on this year's show.

On MSF's recommendation I have set up donation pages at the following sites;
Justgiving;
http://www.justgiving.com/dprjones24h...

Firstgiving;
http://www.firstgiving.com/dprjones

This is an effective, safe and secure method of making donations. No-one involved in the event is able to handle any of the money. It is transferred directly to the charity.

I have set the ambitious target of $75,000 because I have agreed with youtube user c0ct0pusprime to have a tattoo of "c0ct0pus" is we reach that figure.

This years event (a 24 hour blogtv show) will start on 18th September and will be similar to last year. As well as some of the "usual suspects" there will be new co-hosts, (for example Matt Dillahunty has provisionally agreed to appear). There are also new events and features that will make this year even better than last year. I will be posting more videos about this shortly.

Thank-you for watching the video and reading the description.

Also, a massive thank you to FactVsReligion for making this video. Thank you Fact!
