Beginning last Tuesday, women in the United Kingdom started posting selfies of themselves with no makeup on in a movement to raise money to fund cancer research. Women nominate their friends to post a selfie and then can text HOPE to the number 20222 to donate $5.00 to cancer research. The trend hit the United States on Thursday, and as of Thursday morning, £8 million ($13 million) for cancer research had been raised, enough to fund 10 critical trials that had been awaiting funding. Donations in the U.K. are going to Cancer Research UK and donations in the U.S. are going to the American Cancer Society. #nomakeupselfie
