I was a fundraising participant in an all-women's roller skating derby (roller derby) for a children's hospital in Toronto.
It was not a real roller derby in the traditional sense, but was more about spending the last month signing up sponsors with deep pockets who'd pledge $1000 per hour for each female participant who would then race around the indoor track like a bunch of wild women!
For each hour that we'd roller-skate, we'd earn $1000 donation from each of our sponsors. The good part was, we could stop every 30 minutes for a break, then continue where we'd left off while time-keepers kept track of our total time rollerskating!
