The fund raising contest initiated by Robert Downey, Jr. recently reached its peak as the target amount needed to build another hospice for his chosen charitable institution, Julia's House, according to BBC News.

Excitement apparent in his post, the actor shared the good news in his Facebook account. "$2m reached! You guys amaze me. Now let's do this Downey-style and blow the roof off the joint," he announced. "Keep donating with me to show Julia's House what we're made of! ‪#‎goodcause --> http://bit.ly/WE-DID-IT," Downey, Jr. further encouraged his fans.

It appears that his enthusiasm truly motivated his followers as his subsequent post in the same social media platform indicated that the target amount was exceeded. "Much to my Omazement, our campaign for Julia's House raised a resounding $2,048,070!" he posted to update fans of the success of the campaign as well as to pay tribute to Omaze, an organization in the United States that provides support and opportunities to charitable institution to raise funds and the public to interact with celebrities.

Meanwhile, Martin Edwards, the chief executive of Julia's House expressed his awe and gratitude at the efforts and willingness not only of the famed Hollywood actor but also of the public to support their organization. "We can't thank people enough, everyone that's purchased a ticket for the raffle and to Robert himself," he shared.

"It's been an extraordinary effort, we're stunned - absolutely stunned," Edwards said following the news that the fund raising activity was a massive hit. "We are well on our way now to opening that second hospice," he further announced.

In an earlier report, the Iron Man actor announced the possible prizes for those willing to lend a helping hand to support this cause. Although the activity offered numerous exciting prizes, the grand reward for those who choose to participate in the cause include an ultimate red carpet experience which comprise flying to Los Angeles and getting booked in a room in a luxurious four-star hotel. The lucky winner can also enjoy a thrilling indoor skydiving experience as well as take part in a helicopter tour.

If those activities are still not enough to quench the winner's thirst for thrill and excitement, he or she will be whisked away to an exclusive store to be fitted for a tuxedo or gown in time for the premiere night of the Avengers: Age of Ultron - with Iron Man himself as his or her date!
