Today was just one of those days at work – I was working on websites that I don’t find very interesting so off I went wandering on the internet and came across My Charity.ie. Love to do something I though – but I have no time…
Not having time shouldn’t be a bar to raising money for charity I thought and below is the result of that thinking.
Yes I want your money for Oxfam – and I am prepared to do only one thing – I will list all the donors at the bottom of this page with your website or blog – so go on get that credit card out it is all for a good cause.
This is from my page on My Charity.ie
I run a website on the Camino de Santiago and I come across loads of people who are doing the walk for charity. Not my thing, I just like the walk.
However I do like the idea of raising money for charity – but really I am too busy to go and do any of these crazy things that I see and hear others doing. So this is what I propose:
- I won’t swim the English Chanel
- I won’t help destroy Kilimanjaro
- Everest is safe from me
- Drivers don’t have to worry about my cycling
- I won’t run a marathon
- I won’t have a sponsored silence
- I won’t have a sponsored anything
- I won’t walk long distances for your money – just for fun
- I won’t walk John O’Groats all the way to Lands End
- I won’t stop eating or stay awake for 24 hrs
- I won’t swim with sharks
- I won’t fly a bicycle
- I won’t sit in a train for 24 hours
I propose that I do nothing for charity and you just give some money – somewhere around €10, $10, or £10.
Now is that not a better idea than having me risk a heart attack by training for some crazy marathon or some long distance bike ride – this way we all get to do something with no risk to anyone – especially me.
Additionally if this has given you a laugh is that not worth a tenner? Five? One?
Thanks and take care
Leslie
