Story

Hi, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

My mission is in honour of the #OvergateHospice. The challenge is to lay for 100 hours, inside a handmade #BobArtModels recycled cardboard coffin inside a Church in Todmorden.

That's 12.5 hours a day for 8 days straight. This endurance installation is to be part of the #PushingUpDaisies festival programme of events. Time-wise, it'll run from 9:00 to 9:30pm everyday.

The festival is happening in #Todmorden, West Yorkshire. Running from Sunday the 8th of May, to Sunday the 15th of May 2016.

#BobsLongColdRest aims to physically help people look at the difficult subject of death and loss in another way. The 8 day endurance experiment is not meant in any way to be distressing, but visually very attractive, surreal, satirical and ultimately a celebration.
