You know, aren't we amazing creatures. We can be so cruel and greedy, but then at a time like this, the best can also come out. Good work Danny Bent good work.

Brilliant mate just brilliant
Had heard about this fundraiser for the victims, good to have a face to it. Good guy for sure.
Craig - Jamie and Kate were the people that made this happen! They're the ones with skills. I'm just the loudest out of all of us. :)
FOREVER Boston Strong!!!
This was so inspiring... This is the sort of group mentality we need in our world at the moment. It makes you wonder what else we could be capable of if we came together. Thank you Danny. This was marvelous!
You forget sometimes how good people can be, we only see stories on the news of the hurt, the anger and the fear, rarely and only at the end of the news do they share the equally important stories, like of Danny.
Humans are amazing!
I remember all of this as if it was yesterday.

From the depths comes salvation, god bless you Danny!

I needed to see this today, I am scared in LA right now and seems the world is falling apart. So seeing this man help in a time of need helped me right now, thank you Danny bent thank you.
Effie, there are so many good people around us all. The less good people just seem to get the headlines a little more! Stay safe x
Boy who could forget this?
Not me bro not me
Reading the comments as I listen, and it brings back lots of memories. Thanks good work man...
Thanks Ulisse!
Wow, thought it would be a talk about just raising money, had no idea what happened to many of these people.
It is a wonderful talk. Good link share.
@@ErinKalshaw thanks Erin!
Really it's not about raising money at all. That was just a consequence of bringing people together.
same as me, good talk.
same, wow, what a journey for those people.
This takes me back, needed to hear this today feeling terrible about whats happening right now. We do get through don't we?
We do Kayla

Now this guys a hero!!!!!
Will they make an action figure that is the question. But seriously - it's a team of thousands making this happen. I just happened to be the first person to say 'I'm keen'.
I remember this guy, good talk.
Thanks for the share.
wonderful talk yes

Oh thanks Octavia!
Yeah, I also remember this day, I mean seriously couldn't believe it. And I remember this guy.
So cool that people do still remember!
Like it seems everyone else does, I remember both of these events. Goof man!
Good people can do great things.
this is true
yes they can and do
All people can do great things. We just need the confidence to give things a go. We had no idea this would turn into what it did!
@@DannyBentHuggingAdventurer true but only if we actually do them
@@thisisarchiegraves true story - that's my super power. Just giving it a go without worry of the consequence!
We need more stories and people like this now, this virus is like a bomb that has hit the world, we need love, compassion and empathy right now.
Tobias, I'm absolutely going to do my best when this is over to bring people back together and do a massive fundraising effort.
Fine work man, very fine work!!!
Thanks so much!
