      Wow, really tough question. I think the biggest things that I’d like to address or solve would be things like disease, wars, climate change, hunger… but then there are huge charities already working on those things, that are far more developed and efficient than any new charity I could set up would be. If I could fix one thing with a magic wand I think it would be cancer – it affects so many people, indiscriminately, and it sucks. But the way we are going with new breakthroughs and advances I really think that we will have it either cured or at least reduced to a treatable condition within my lifetime.

      I’d do something to help disabled people try and live a “normal” life. I’d use technology to help them regain the functions they have lost. As with most of these things, it not only would benefit the person actually getting the treatment, but their families and loved ones too, which is brilliant.

      I would like to fund / start a charity for homeless people in cooperation with companies. I don’t want to generalise, but it is important to give these people a perspective, a sense of being part of the community again. I would organise training activities for them to be able to learn new skills. As the charity would work together with companies there would be possibilities for job experiences.
