I don't get this Sport Relief thing in the UK.

They (the BBC I assume) get celebrities to push their health to raise money for charity.

This guy is cycling insane distances in a short time in winter. It would be bad enough on a regular February week, but this week we have snow storms across the UK. I'm.snowed in right now.

A few years ago David Walliams swam in the Thames and caught a nasty stomach illness.

What the hell is wrong with people. Why won't they give to charity unless people risk their lives doing stupid stunts?

It just seems crazy to me and I refuse to donate because I'm not encouraging people to put themselves in harms way when they don't need to.

The BBC could find safer ways to drum up support for charity and broadcast it all over their channels in an exciting way.
