A bloke I was at college with sent me this this morning, about this Tube Relief thing. Now personally I think people who spend their spare time riding around on the tube are a bit mad, but who am I to judge. Besides, it's for charity. This time.

'Not Afraid' Tube Relief 2005
As some of you are aware, I spend way too much time on the tube (I don't mean stuck in delays when commuting!) when trying to break the world record for visiting all 275 stations in the quickest possible time (also know as Tube Challenging).
Since 07/07 the Tube Challenge community have been planning a fund raising event to raise money for the London Bombings Relief Fund that was set and finally Tube Relief 2005 was born!
So what am I doing?
Well, it's not a world record attempt - but the aim is the same - to visit every tube station in a day. There are approximately 70 of us all starting at the same time, 0527 in Amersham, one weekday morning towards the end of August and we all hope to make it to Upminster by the close of service (0130) the following morning having visited every other station on our way.
This event has the support of Transport for London and The London Mayor - Ken Livingstone and may be used as part of a campaign to help get people back on the tube.
If you would like to sponsor [this event]
In order to make donating easier (and anonymous if desired), you can donate on-line via the Tube Relief website. All donations are secure and sent electronically to the London Bombings Relief Fund. If you are a UK taxpayer, you can still gift aid your donation on the page.

Something to think about.
