Cupid's Undie Run

Thousands of people. One mile. Just their underwear. This lesson examines the boldest fundraiser on earth. Is running in your pants a gimmick, or a powerful way to raise millions for charity? This lesson explores why sometimes, you have to lose your clothes to find a cure.

Speaking Discussion

  • Would you run a mile in your underwear if it raised £1,000 for a cause you loved?
  • Why does humor work better than sadness when asking for donations?
  • Does being in a crowd make you feel invisible or powerful?
  • What is the wildest thing you have ever seen someone do for a good cause?
  • How does body positivity play a role in an event like this?
