Good Luck.
People do many [crazy/ crazily] things to raise money for charity. The latest crazy [stunt / stint] came from an English man who decided to [pushy / push] a Brussels sprout up the highest mountain in Wales – [with / within] his nose. He wanted to raise $8,500 for a cancer charity. Stuart Kettell, 49, said he loves [challenging / challenges] and will try to do anything for charity. His other challenges include walking 800 kilometers on stilts and [sat / sitting] in a box for a [week / weekly] . He said: "I have seen first hand the amazing work the charity Macmillan Cancer Support does, [not / none] only for the patient but their family and friends [too / well] ." He added: "People’s cancer stories inspire me even more to carry on, and my challenges are going to get even [most / more] crazy."

It took Mr Kettell three days to [push / pushy] the Brussels sprout up the 1,085m-high Mount Snowden. He wore a specially [designer / designed] face mask so he wouldn't [scourge / scrape] the skin off his face. He practised for his charity mission by pushing a Brussels sprout [abound / around] his garden. He chose a large sprout for his Snowden challenge. It was about the [size / amount] of a table-tennis ball. He said he wanted a larger one because it would not fall down a [creek / crack] . He spent three days on his [palms / hands] and knees with his nose a centimeter [or / for] two above the ground. He told reporters there was "a huge amount of pain" in his knees, wrists and [back / front] . He said he was happy because his training worked, he reached the [summit / sums] , and he raised money for the charity.
