There's some good in this world, and it's worth doing!
Sean's 43rd birthday is Tuesday, February 25, 2014, and we'd like you to help give him a birthday present that will give to others as well!
Rather than just sending Sean your birthday wishes via tweet or card or photo or video, we want you to do something for Sean by doing something for someone else. Volunteer, donate or assist, take a photo that documents what you did, and send it to us to put together in a video that will be posted for Sean on his birthday.
There are hundreds of ways to volunteer: you can donate blood, walk dogs at an animal shelter, bake cookies for the staff at a nursing home, collect clothes and toys to donate, visit a shut in or go shopping for them, work at a soup kitchen or food distribution, write letters to troops overseas, help your neighbors or friends with a difficult task, plant a tree, cleanup trash at a park or roadside, knit scarves and hats to donate to the homeless. The possibilities are endless!
Involve your family members, friends and coworkers. Make it a group activity!
Don't know what to do in your area? Google "community services" for your town and contact them. Check with local schools, libraries and religious organizations. You can even help online! Here are some resources to help get you started:

If you have others to suggest, please comment below!
Once you have completed your volunteer activity, send us a photo of you taking part. Hold up a sign or annotate the photo saying what you've done and why. For example, you can hold a sign saying "I gave blood for Sean's 43rd" or "Volunteering at the homeless shelter for Sean" or something similar. Add your name or twitter handle if you wish. Please make sure the resolution is high for best results. We'll put all the photos together in a music video and post it for Sean on his birthday!
Email your photo to run3rd4you@gmail.com by February 8, 2014 to be included.
Please share the link to this page with your friends and fellow Sean fans, but be careful not to post in a manner that he may see! Do NOT use his twitter handle or full name in a tweet, or post where he might see it!
