Becca Schofield, the Riverview, N.B., teen whose campaign to spread kindness became a global movement, has died at the age of 18. That request sparked the #BeccaToldMeTo campaign. While the campaign may have propelled Becca to international fame, Darren Schofield said she never intended #BeccaToldMeTo to be about her. "A recent graduate of Riverview High School, Becca influenced people both locally and internationally with her #beccatoldmeto social media campaign that inspired people to perform random acts of kindness." In a Facebook post, New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant said Becca was an inspiration to thousands around the world and that her impact will continue to be felt through the #BeccaToldMeTo campaign.
