Money accidentally donated to wrong charity

Well, (according to the Metro), people donating to cancer research have been accidentally donating to the wrong cause.

The correct word to send is "BEAT", but some people have been texting the word "DONATE" and sending to Unicef. Also phones have been auto-correcting and sending the word "BEAR", that's WWF's Adopt a polar bear.

Since the #nomakeupselfie campaign has raised over £8million so far, I think having other charities, even accidentally, is a good thing.

They have had over 18 grands worth of accidental donations and are giving the monies back to the charities they were originally intended for.
