Break a leg for charity - Times Online

Break a leg for charity - Times Online: "Not that these requests are restricted to parachute jumps. I’ve had: “Please sign that I’m fit to go trekking in Nepal for charity.” And “Please sign that I’m fit to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for charity.” And even – no kidding – “Please sign that I’m fit to sit butt-naked on a block of ice for as long as I can for charity.” OK, I admit that last one was for an endurance-style competition organised by a local radio station, but you get the drift. People wanting to go to charitable extremes expect me to take responsibility for them coming through unscathed. And that’s as comfortable as sitting indefinitely on a block of ice."
