As you know, I have been settling into my new life in
London, one thing I haven’t gotten used to is the weather!!!! One minute it’s 25˚C with blue skies, the next – rain showers!
Now, I have been thinking, what steps could I take to get used to this new climate? Why of course – I could submerge myself in an ice bath! Now this wouldn’t just be for the fun of it – it would be a great opportunity to raise some money towards the fantastic Alzheimer’s Society!
I must admit, I cannot take full credit, my son helped me
with the idea (I’m sure he won’t enjoy seeing me suffer in the freezing water!! 😉).
However, I thought this would be a great test for me.
Now the important bit! I am hoping to raise at least £1,500 and to make it more challenging I have come up with the following “thresholds”:
- £250 = I will stay in the ice bath for 2 minutes
- £500 = I will stay in the ice bath for 3 minutes
- £750 = I will stay in the ice bath for 4 minutes
- £1,000 = I will stay in the ice bath for 5 minutes
- £1,250 = I will stay in the ice bath for 6 minutes
- £1,500 or above = I will stay in the ice bath until being rescued by the emergency services….
For each £100 raised above £1,500, I will dunk my head in
the water for 2 seconds (trust me, this is a big ask!!!).
All donations will be greatly appreciated, it is truly a great cause
And just for fun, we’ll also live stream the event (you will
only be able to view this if you have donated!!).
Wish me luck and thank you!
