Quote: Reality stars cashing in on their 15 minutes of fame to give back to their communities. Quote: Going on beyond their 15 minutes of fame, some reality stars are actually making an effort to give something back to the public that adored them, however briefly. Celebrities from hit television shows such as The Amazing Race, Big Brother, Boy Meets Boy, The Real World and Road Rules have come together to form "The Reality Cares Foundation" (http://www.realitycares.org) to raise money for people affected by life-threatening diseases such as Alzheimer's, breast cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS.

Good luck with that Spikylass! 
I did a bunjee jump recently to raise funds for our church... I was sick after because I'm scared of heights. Didn't enjoy it one little bit!  Next time I think I will do something easier, 24 hour famine or something.

I was kinda "roped" into the bunjee thing! 
That 3 day fast must have been hard, I take it you were allowed certain things like water? |

Water and glucose tablets.We used to have to fast for a day when we went on retreat so had this idea of doing it as a fundraiser for a well in Chad and didn't expect it to be so hard! |

I guess the glucose tablets was to keep your sugar levels up. I have always wanted to do it to raise funds for the 3rd world. I do a lot for charity and the church. |

Is probably something you could organise at your church.Is a bit more novel than a cake stall or yet another bring and buy!You could do it BB style and camp out in the church hall for 24 hours...or sponsor each other to see who can go the longest without cracking!!!Gues who always comes up with hairbrained schemes to make money!
