Could you crimp your hair and wear a Cosby sweater every day for 21 days to help out homeless youth?

Here's a neat project that we've come across: the 21 Day Challenge. For 21 days from June 1st til June 21st, you can choose to do something (like ride your bike to work every day) or not do something (like not drinking coffee or tea) and raise money for an ace cause. All of the proceeds go to helping the homeless and at-risk youth of Australia as part of Open Family. It culminates on June 21st, the shortest day of the year and thus the hardest and longest night for those who have no choice but to sleep on the streets. Some of the suggestions they've given you are only eating round food, using a watering can as a handbag, wearing knitted Cosby sweaters or crimping your hair every day. Challenge accepted!
