For the past few weeks, many people have been fundraising for Comic Relief 2013.
There have been people shaving their hair, sponsored silences, going on runs, walks, car washes and some people, including an array of celebrities have travelled to Africa and parts of the UK which will benefit greatly from the generosity of others.
Comedienne Miranda Hart has been doing Mad March Challenges this week, on Monday she had to wax as many people as possible in an attempt to break a world record; on Tuesday she performed a routine from Dirty Dancing in a Strictly Come Dancing scenario, yesterday she performed a dance routine to the Spice Girls in a Union Jack design onsie and today’s challenge will be a dog show.
This morning on BBC Radio 1, breakfast presenter Nick Grimshaw had a host of celebrity guests including Lily Allen and model Kate Moss, he also sat in a bath of maggots and mealworms and with the encouragement of listeners and their charitable donations, managed to raise over a quarter of a million pounds. This is a tremendous amount of money and I’m sure it will go a very long way to help those who deserve and need it.
The Hell and High Water Challenge which happened at the beginning of February will be on the television this evening too. I had DJ Greg James as my Website of the Week during his trip to the Zambezi River and he and the other celebrities who took part did a wonderful job and it will be great to see their efforts this evening.
Tomorrow, Bath-Knight will be holding a ’50 Shades of Red Buffet’ and we are all very excited to see what red or shades of red food will be on the table in a bid to raise money for Comic Relief. There are also some prizes up for grabs for the best dish!
While the day will be fun and there will be plenty of games going on, we must all remember the reason why we are raising money and I do hope that we raise enough money to change many lives of those from deprived backgrounds here in the UK and in Africa.
