To get involved, simply fly as a solo fundraiser, start up a Vice Squad of work colleagues, friends and family members or become a member of an established squad. Then, get as many supporters as you can to sponsor you. It’s an easy way to help educate those less fortunate than ourselves.

Your vice could be coffee, alcohol, gambling, mobile phones, even Facebook, take away food, chocolate bars, or sugary drinks – whatever you deem a challenge to part with for the entire month of February. Because 2012 is a leap year, an extra $25 donation will even buy you a day off.

If you can't take part yourself, but still want to make a difference, you can be a sponsor and get behind one of the teams or individuals. The choice is yours. So get motivated, get involved, tell your friends and help us educate the children of St Jude’s.
