COMPLETED!! Tom's Tea Cup Torture Challenge to benefit Give Kids the World

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

I wanted to do something special for Leap Day AND raise money for Give Kids the World...here's what I came up with:

Tom's Tea Cup Torture Challenge

On Leap Day, February 29th, 2012 I will be riding the Mad Tea Party at Disneyland to benefit Give Kids the World.

Here's where you come in--for every $250 that's raised, I will spend ONE HOUR riding the tea cups (up to a maximum of 12 hours).*

I will get in line for the Mad Tea Party at 12 noon on Leap Day and continue getting on and off the ride until the clock runs out!

Here's a bonus for folks that will be at Disneyland for Leap Day: anyone that donates $20 in person on Leap Day can ride with me and spin, spin, spin that tea cup.

*As this is not a Disney sponsored event, I will wait in the line for each ride with everyone else. At the end of each hour I will take a 5 minute restroom break. Any in-person donations on Leap Day will not increase the time on the ride.

I'm sure I can do 12 hours on the Tea Cups...can you help raise $3,000 for Give Kids the World?

Whew! I am getting motion sickness just imagining this! I'll be there the weekend before, but good luck with your mission!

I donated $20 towards your cause, for the kids sake, I hope you are stuck on that tea cup all night long!!

Shameless bump for the evening crowd.

Less than 3 weeks to get this done.

I'd love to come out and see if I could spin it fast enough for long enough to turn you green.

Just donated. I hope you reach your goal. I wouldn't be able to take all the spinning so I'm glad it's you and not me

WOW! When I ride this I don't even like to spin for the 1 time I do it each trip. Best of luck to your great cause!

Thanks Jodi!!

Someone brought up the Tea Cups, so I found it only fitting that I bump this up.

Holy cow! You're either brave or really, really crazy. I'm voting for the latter. Thanks for being nuts for a good cause, though

Donation and bump. I noticed you are not scheduling any meal breaks - smart man.

Maybe a chili dog or something right before.

Instead of flowers or candy....

Almost up to 1 hour!

Thanks to everyone who's donating.

 

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

Just two weeks to get this done.

 

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

I'm officially up to ONE HOUR now.

Let's keep it up.

I think I'm gonna head to the parks this weekend to practice my spinning.
