    UK Teenager raises $$$ for charity with his hammock

    Here's a good'n: Hammocker does good

    Good for him!!! I'm not surprised he now prefers his hammock over his old bed after sleeping in the yard for a year. Enjoy!

    Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.

    Surely, God never did.

    If more teenagers were like this one, then the world would be a much better place.

    Good on him.

    Cheers

    What an excellent story, to him and the reasons he did it. Here's hoping that more follow his reason for doing what he did and what was in his heart, and not the end result!

    Thats a wonderful thank you for the people that helped his sister. The gesture is as nice as the money.

    Agreed. A selfless act for his sister, but also benefitting his own character, probably more than he realizes at the moment.
