<p>Some people bake cakes or sit in a tub of beans to raise money for charity. Others run marathons, swim the English Channel or cycle the Andes.</p>
<p>We're attempting something far more challenging. A feat that will take every ounce of will power and mental strength to succeed. A feat that will make grown men shake their heads in admiration and women swoon as they're overcome by our heroism.</p>
<p>We're not eating crisps for a whole year.</p>
<p>That's right, three addicts are going <a title="365 days without crisps" href="http://365dayswithoutcrisps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">365 days without crisps</a>. What started out as a harmless Facebook status update has now become an international sensation, and we've decided to use the goodwill to raise some money for the British Heart Foundation. Heart disease is the number one killer in the UK, and fried, salty snacks aren't exactly known for their protective effect.</p>
<p>So next time you stuff some cheese and onion crisps into your sandwich, or pop the lid on a tube of Pringles, spare a thought for what we're going through. The BHF and all the people it helps would be grateful for any donations you could spare.</p>
<p>Many thanks,</p>
