Hope this ends well...

Who came up with this stupid idea?

No kidding! What is the point of it? I have never heard of anything like this. I'll be thinking about your student and hope it turns out well.

Who came up with this stupid idea?

Several universities in the state have done them. One near where I went to school did one, but the actually ran to Krispy Kreme.

Kicker- they changed it. It initially called for eating TWELVE donuts.

If it were me - I would recommend a no to this one!!! The diabatic student - a BIG NO!!!!!!!

I would have considered having the diabetic student and his parent (heck, maybe everyone participating) sign a liability waiver. I could see so many thing going terribly wrong with this!

i have never heard of such a thing sounds crazy to me !

praiser :heartbeat

I hope it all ends well too. There is no way I'll let my diabetic do this, now this sounds too risky. Perhaps he can eat something low in carbs like a grahm cracker but not a krispy creme donut. ( drooling too)

Wow, I attended a meeting with a philanthropic organization a couple of months ago that included local school nurses, public health nurses, etc., and they had managed to remove unhealthy snacks and drinks from the vending machines and one particular maddening thing (to them) was the selling of Cookie Dough Ice Cream for fundraising and they got rid of that too.

They would have a field day with this

edited to add . .... why do you have to raise money for the yearbook? Don't people buy them?

There were not enough ad sales or senior page sales this year b/c of the economy. I think they're negative with their budget and need to make that up.

I will come up with something right quick. He's 18, pretty responsible when he wants to be.

Wanted to add- Not all students are doing this. There are only about 60 students running, and you have to sign up to do it. The others will watch and cheer.

Somehow Krispie Kremes have wheedled there way into more fundraisers than you can shake a stick at. This whole harebrained scheme was probably cooked up by their promotion department.

The thing that gets me is, the whole allure and delight of eating a Krispie Kreme is that they are hot, fresh, and melt in you mouth. What's so special about eating one of these donuts when it's not fresh? And eating one after another after running a mile sounds idiotic beyond comprehension.
