That's one very fucking special school.
Did Tacheback last year with a few people from work - made a point of saying we were basically doing fuck all but it was for a good cause- Everyman male cancer charity. Didn't bully anyone into giving and raised over a grand mainly because we looked like badgers for a month.

If I won the lottery, i'd be doing massive challenges and stuff like that all over the world, would ask for sponsorship, and I would personally match, or even 2:1 any money that was raised.
Would be essentially doing it for myself anyway, but still, would be nice to try and rasie some money for people who would be less fortunate. Probably Tainted Blood charity or Haemophiliac society, or the RSPCA.
Just need to win the lottery now.

Something else that annoys me ...
Charity appeals, where celebrities ask you to donate say £10. - but blatently the celebs don't donate at all, or max donate the same £10.
Seems wrong that say you only have £10,000 you donate £10 = 0.1% of your total money.
The celeb has £10,000,000 - to make the same sacrifice they should donate 0.1% = £10,000.

I'd do that. Setup a webcam and sit in front of it for a whole 24h moaning...

What pisses me off are the people that do various running events that ask for sponsorship.
When you know they will not run it, they will just walk it!

We're quite a small company and everyone gets on well so firstly you don't mind sponsoring someone you like, and second when theres not too many people it doesn't cost you all that much. I imagine in a bigger company its more likely to get annoying.
Plus they all bought me a decent tomtom for my 20th which I was chuffed to bits with so more than happy to contribute

Tbf you can only get places on some events if you actually raise x amount of money.... Like with the london marathon etc, if you miss out on your own selection you can get a charity place
