April 26, 2012 Amy Grade Leave a comment

Facing the Atlantic Fundraiser:

Stephen Moyer, who plays Vampire Bill on HBO’s True Blood, would like to personally thank his fans for helping the fundraiser, Facing the Atlantic. Overall, approximately $21,000 was raised.

Moyer and his mate Bertie Portal made a video for all of the participating fans who helped fundraise and support Facing the Atlantic.

On the fundraiser, AllStephenMoyer said:

“Facing the Atlantic is the most thrilling fundraiser we have done so far. It was exciting to follow the journey of Bertie and James, with all its ups and downs and we couldn’t have been more happy when they set foot on Barbados after 63 days on the Atlantic Ocean.”

In an email, Moyer said:

“…finally – FINALLY – I have had to reload the whole bloody thing. Can’t thank you guys enough for everything you and everyone on your respective websites have managed to raise…
Bert is gobsmacked by the level of commitment you put in…
I’m at work, and have just spent the entire last hour and a half trying to load this again, so now I’m off many thanks again.
See you all soon
Steve
…There is a glitch in the middle of the video where we were discussing how much money you lot had raised which I didn’t realise hadn’t recorded until I was back in the US… bloody annoying.”

Thanks for all of the help Truebies! Don’t forget (wait, how could you?) season 5 of True Blood premieres on June 10.

All for Charity:

Truebies, hurry on over to eBay if you want a chance to win a little piece of Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin! The couple have signed a True Blood calendar, three times over, all in the name of charity. As you may already know, Moyer is very involved with Facing the Atlantic/Facing the World, an organization that raises funds for children with facial disfigurement. The children are provided with surgeries which they would not have been able to afford.

The calendar is an official HBO True Blood 2011 calendar, which was not sold in the HBO shop. There is a total of six autographs on it: both actors signed the cover and the centerfold, and they each signed their respective pages individually. The auction ends on Saturday, so you’d better get a move on!

True Blood’s Stephen Moyer Helps Facing the Atlantic

March 5, 2011 Heather Day Leave a comment

Maiden Voyage for the Charity will Set Sail in December

Like many of his cast-mates, True Blood‘s Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) spends a lot of time off-camera supporting charities to help make a difference. Facing the World (FTW) is a UK-based charity founded in 2002 that offers facial surgery to children with disfigurements, and it has become very close to Moyer’s heart over the past couple of years. Moyer’s mission as of late is asking his fans and supporters to help spread the word about the daring project, Facing the Atlantic (FTA), that is aiming to raise over $400,000 to support the humanitarian organization.

A Race of Epic Proportions

Facing the World was co-founded in 2008 by Martin Kelly, the late husband of actress Natascha McElhone (‘Californication‘), whom Moyer met and became friends with while attending the London Academy for Music and the Dramatic Arts. The impact that Kelly left behind on his friends and loved ones is what forged Facing the Atlantic, a nautical race across the Atlantic. Actor Bert Portal and personal trainer James Cash make up the FTA team who will race in a two-man row boat from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to English Harbour in Antigua, the West Indies.

Portal was a close friend of Kelly’s, as well as a personal friend of Moyer – he was the best man at Moyer and Anna Paquin‘s (Sookie Stackhouse) wedding last summer. Portal made a promise to Kelly and Facing the Atlantic is the mission he will undertake to fulfill his promise.

The race is scheduled to begin on December 4, 2011 and will possibly take more than 60 days to finish. The twosome will cover a distance of 2,500 nautical miles, the same distance from London to Dubai, and will operate a shift system of 2 hours on, 2 hours off, 24 hours a day in a continuous cycle. Portal is more than ready:

“This charity is close to my heart and 60 days of heightened physical and indeed mental danger is nothing compared to what these children go through.”

As more details are released about the charity and the maiden voyage of Facing the Atlantic, we’ll be sure to keep all you Truebies up-to-date on how you can help. You can make a direct donation by credit card or PayPal to FTA here.
