Jesse Carey, an American podcaster, decided to listen to an entire week of Nickelback music to raise money. His goal was to raise $10,000 for the charity Charity: Water during his one week of music-intensity. As he explained at the end of the week, “’I don’t think I could have gone one more minute.”

He continued, “I just totally collapsed. It was total exhaustion. I went and had the IVs hooked up to get quickly rehydrated, all the vitals were low. I don’t think I could have gone one more minute.”

He ended up listening to 168 hours worth of music and publicized much of his pain through Twitter. The good news is that he has already raised a shocking $30,000 for doing so. Funds are still being accepted until the end of March.

Well, that’s one way to raise money for a cause. As long as you don’t lose your mind first.
