Story
After three Ice Bucket Challenges (from John Malyckyj, Silas Freeman and Ian Chappell), the challenge has led to a Facebook campaign for me to get drenched on the pitch live at half time of a Bristol Rovers match.
For those of you who don't know, I am Stadium Announcer at BRFC, which, at the moment, is a job a little like being a Belly Pork salesman in a Synagogue.
So, I've agreed as long as we can raise some cash for a good cause! If I'm going to suffer humiliation in front of 5,000 people, we might as well raise some dosh!
I can't support ALS through JustGiving as they are US based and not a recognised JG charity. However, I've nominated the Bristol based Wallace & Gommit Grand Appeal which does great work with sick kids and their families at Bristols Children's Hospital. I'll make my own personal donation to ALS.
Here's the deal. £500 and I'll do it. Pledge £50 and you can even pour a bucket yourself. I don't care how many buckets if the fifties keep rolling in!
If this works, I'm aiming for the game against Wrexham on Tues 9 September. If we hit £500, please keep donating. Let's see if we can smash it!!
Thanks for visiting my page, please dig deep! Nick
