Campaign raises £11k for man to listen to Nickelback for entire week
He will listen to the band 24/7
A man must listen to Nickelback for a whole week after he successfully raised £11,000 for a charity campaign in the US.
The challenge, which started on 16th February, is being undertaken by podcaster Jesse Carey who aims to work his way through the American band’s back catalogue – on repeat.
He said: “I’m willing to put my personal health at risk for the challenge. Obviously, exposure to such a large quantity of Nickelback is very dangerous.
“Several doctors have said that such an endeavour could result in irreversible damage to my ears, brain, kidneys and soul.”
Carey will be listening to the Canadian band whilst “sleeping, working, even showering” for what will come to 168 consecutive hours.
The campaign was launched to raise money for ‘Charity: Water’, helping to build water wells in developing countries, and will end on 22nd February.
