As I celebrate this milestone — “40 Never Dies” — I’d like to turn the spotlight toward a cause that truly matters.

Instead of personal gifts, I invite you to join me in supporting Ajuda Alimentar Cães, an institution in Madeira that provides food, shelter, and care for abandoned and rescued dogs.

Every contribution, big or small, helps keep their tails wagging and their bowls full. Together, we can make this mission a success — one act of kindness at a time.

This is your mission, should you choose to accept it.
