Paul is urging fans to mark his birthday by sending donations to a
cancer charity.
The Beatles legend turns 71 on Tuesday and he decided to mark the
occasion by launching a fundraising initiative in aid of Britain's The Royal
Marsden Cancer Charity, an organization that helps the London hospital of the
same name provide vital care.
A post on Paul's Twitter.com page, reads, "I have used my birthday to
raise money for (The Royal Marsden)! Give a gift and donate to help cancer
patients."
A message published on McCartney's fundraising web page adds, "I'm donating
my birthday for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity because they make life better
for people with cancer... Please give them a gift on my birthday." McCartney's
first wife, Linda, died after a battle with breast cancer in
1998.
