WHAT’S WRONG WITH DYING OF NATURAL CAUSES?

You don’t usually hear the words “extreme” and “unicycling” in the same sentence but that’s all going to change now that some nut in Britain has decided to ride his unicycle down Mount Everest in order to raise money for poor kids in Nepal, Extreme unicyclist Steve Colligan, 47, intends to set a new world record by crossing over 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) along five mountain passes in the Himalayas between Lhasa, Tibet and Kathmandu, Nepal. The trip will culminate with the world’s longest downhill ride, a 4,600 metre plunge down from the Everest Base Camp in Tibet. You can keep track of his progress and donate to his cause at UnicycleSteve.com.
