Earlier this year I committed with my Channel 4 co-presenter Jon Snow to cycle from C4 HQ to the Eiffel Tower in 24 hours in aid of the Duchenne Children’s Trust.
Sadly Jon has had to pull out of the ride for “boring domestic” reasons.
In penance he has made an offer that will involve almost as much pain as riding from London to Paris in 24 hours.
Jon will be ceremoniously waxed, in the Channel 4 News studio, to raise money instead. We suggested for every £10,000 donated he should wax one leg.
He then rashly offered to have his whole body done if he gets to £25,000. That’s gotta hurt.
So please spread the word. His donation page is www.justgiving.com/snowwax or you can text FOUR48 £5 to 70070
