I'm always amazed at how thoughtful and sensitive our New Moon stars turned out to be :-) And yet another interesting article written by Amanda Bell - Lydia

His The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse character's ability to numb the senses might not be too far from reality.

Recently, Cameron Bright made his way to Salt Spring, British Columbia to raise money for a young lady who suffers from Compartment Syndrome.

According to local news on-site, Bright "was proposed to by a female in the crowd and was hugged by grinning teenage girls who found it hard to let go."

The same publication reports that Bright signed over 200 autographs (at a couple of dollars apiece; funds going to the young lady's family) and also participated in a Q&A after the event.

In the Q&A, Bright explained his motivation and background in approaching this fundraiser.

When I have time and am back at my house I try to do what I can for charities. My main one is JDRF — juvenile diabetes — and currently I am working to support Island KIA, a youth sports fundraiser in Nanaimo. Mike Best, who is from Salt Spring, has been working on this fundraiser with me, and that is how I came to hear about Jasmin Wilson. Mike mentioned there might be a role I could play, helping this family on Salt Spring in a way that might make their medical bills a little less. With Michael Levy, the Salt Spring cinema owner, Mike organized the autograph signing and question and answer session to raise funds for Jasmin and asked me to come to Salt Spring for this. I am really excited to do this, and I hope everyone in the community will come out and support it. It is important that we help Jasmin and her family however we can.
