One man juggling challenge for cancer research
Melanie May | 13 June 2016 | News
A UK-born man has set himself the challenge of juggling every day for 365 days to raise $10,000 for Cancer Research UK.
Professional juggler James Bustar lives in Australia and started his juggling challenge in September last year after losing multiple family and friends to cancer. He has set up a JustGiving page, and aims to raise $10,000 for Cancer Research UK as well as for Cancer Council NSW.
To give his challenge an added twist, James is juggling more than balls. So far he has juggled everything from clocks to socks, to rocks, and green peas. He has also juggled on a pogo stick, a trampoline, and on a BMX, and is inviting the public to challenge him by nominating new objects for him to juggle via his site.
Bustar said:
“I want to make this a fun series of events to bring some joy to people who don’t normally have something to smile about when they hear the word ‘cancer’. My aim is to generate $10,000 in funding for Cancer Research UK and to raise some awareness along the way.”
