And it’s certainly been quite an adventure…

We’ve ran half marathons; dressed up as pirates, monks, wizards, cows and brides; spent hours in the freezing cold with collecting buckets; ran through chest-deep mud; adapted to veganism for a month (ugh, mock duck!); injured ankles, recovered gracefully, and endured painful and humiliating all-over body waxing!

So – in the spirit of all that, we’re running a little competition that asks one simple question: What’s the craziest thing YOU have every done in the name of charity?

• Have you done something you and your friends never thought you would?
• Have you humiliated yourself on a grand scale?
• Have you overcome all odds to do something truly remarkable?

The one with the most voted upon story by Friday 15th January will receive a FREE YEAR’S MEMBERSHIP from our friends at TasteLondon, giving you 50% off at 1000s of excellent restaurants around London. Wow!

I’ve kicked it off with my craziest thing – but can you better it??

One-legged pirate dancing was just one of the many activities our brave adventurers took on last Saturday in our 2nd London Treasure Hunt – aka “The Quest for the Golden Chicken”.

The scene was set by Amy and I, scientists who’s been tracking the mysterious and powerful Golden Chicken ever since it arrived in London, and our six teams set out upon their daring mission to discover it’s true power.

One team did this rather unexpectedly quickly – with some quick word work revealing the final location to them actually only minutes from the start. Well done to “Treasure C**t” for tracking it down!

But of course, there was plenty more to keep them, and the other 5 teams occupied all afternoon. The day saw a couple of moving romantic Shakespeare renditions, some very obscene vegetables and an awfully confused security guard called Marvin!

It all culminated in the wonderful Belushi’s, who kindly provided an absolutely cracking party location for the “after party” as well as prizes for runners up, “Threesome”, and the overall winners, “The Mummy Slayers” – who also received a generously donated ticket each to The London Bridge Experience.

A huge thanks to everyone who came and made the event so much fun – and especially to Laura aka “Wizzie the Wizard”, James the pirate, all the scary people at The London Bridge Experience, the Colombian coffee shop, Burnt Sugar in Borough market for the free fudge and Vicky and all the staff at Belushi’s for giving us such a great venue and such unbelievable drinks offers.

They certainly did the trick – and we raised over £325 towards our cause.

Check out all the fantastic photos and videos from the weekend here.

Think something between a Treasure Hunt and a Pub Crawl – but with more silly costumes, a chance to sharpen your mind with cryptic clues, and plenty of opportunities for the public to look on in amazement and think, just what the heck are they doing?

It’s all taking place on Saturday 1st August…
