Batch of Kindness 2017!

For the past three years, fans of Benedict Cumberbatch across the globe joined together to perform acts of kindness in celebration of the actor's July 19 birthday. The campaign was prompted by the words of the actor himself in a 2013 thank you letter to the fans, quoted below: "...it may be cheeky after such efforts and generosity...but could I make a request? Could you please put the time and energy, money and effort you put into those gifts, cards and messages to me into doing good for someone else?...it doesn’t have to be money, perhaps it’s just a bit of your time or a simple gesture of kindness...anyway if it makes me sound ungrateful for what you gave me please forgive my rudeness. I simply think if the number of people who threw love my way did so to people that need it far more than me, that would be a wonderful feeling for us all to have on my birthday."
