Raising money for Diabetes UK by doing something stupid.

AndyBeast

Afternoon all,

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this so I'm shoving it in here (oh er Mrs.!!) and I'm sure some of the responses I get will involve limes, string and obvious’ but meh what the hell!!

I'm trying to raise a shootload of money for Diabetes UK by taking part in next years Ironman UK, nothing too bad apart from the fact I'm badly of shape.

Any how my blog tracking my progress is here http://bigandyscouchpotatotoironmanjourney.com/

and my donation page is here http://www.diabeteschallenge.org.uk/challenge/bigandy-couchpotatotoironman

That's it, if you wanna take a look please do and if you'd like to donate that would be great.

In the spirit of the charity, I'll sponsor you to do it with no insulin (if that means having to remove your pancreas with an icecream scoop, well that's a sacrifice I'm happy to make)

Tell you what- I'll just trust you to get on with the scooping and make a donation now, you look trustworthy.

AndyBeast

Thanks Northwind,

You're the 1st to donate as well so just for that I have removed my pancreas with an ice-cream scoop as requested, now if I can stem the bleeding I'll put the video on YouTube.

Andy.

I've donated as well bud, it's not much, as I keep spending most of my money on tattoos at the moment, but it all helps

We require pics when it's done.. and you should really do it in a CC tee or something, or at least with a lime attached to you somewhere.

Good luck mate!

Cheers, and I'm sure I can squeeze a lime in somewhere.... so to speak.

probably not lol, but am thinking of an iron on transfer of a lime for one of the butt cheeks on my running stuff.

As long as said lime is sideways on I'll sponsor you, I'll need photographic evirdence mind as I'm only a poor student living in London and consequently have very little money :roll:
