Story

<p>I'm a regular guy - get me out of here! (my back garden)</p> <p>To raise money for the DCWC, I am doing my own version of I'm a celebrity. I shall be living outside (in my back garden) for a week 26th December 2010 - 2nd&nbsp;January 2011. During this time I pledge not to go indoors at all. I shall be sleeping in a tent and doing everything including, eating, drinking and washing in the great and cold out doors. I shall have a make shift out-door dunny for calls of nature. During my week I may leave the garden, to go for walks, window shopping and visiting pub beer gardens, but I will under no circumstances go indoors. Anything I want to buy will have to be purchased for me and brought outside. I shall not enter a building of any sort for any reason. I will however be able to shelter from the rain under porch roofs etc.</p> <p>Look at my blog @ http://jonwright-nepalchallenge.blogspot.com/</p> <p>My family have a sadistic streak - and have plans to set challenges so that I may receive treats - I do not know what they have in store - but I will keep you posted.</p> <p>Every penny that I raise will go to the DCWC - for information please see their website at dcwcnepal.org</p> <p>In April next year I shall be trekking in the Himalayas and visiting some of the DCWC projects - I may find it hard living outside in the depths of winter for a whole week - but, for some people, every day is much harder than that - so please give generously.</p> <p>Many Thanks</p> <p>Jon</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
