Man Sitting On Toilet For 24 Hours Creates Tons Of

[Alpha]

A Dunedin man has gone from the penthouse to the outhouse in the aid of charity.

 

Steven Lay, 23, began a marathon 24-hour stint in a mobile toilet cubicle in the Octagon at 8am yesterday.

 

"You could say I took a day off in lieu," the Holcim Cement forklift driver joked yesterday.

 

The "Dunny Dare" radio promotion was based on a reverse bidding auction which had been running for several weeks.

 

"It started as a discussion on how far people would go, for how much, and it just snowballed from there," said Classic Hits announcer Patrina Roche.

Bidding started at $10,000 and dropped rapidly as people offered to complete the stint for less and less.

 

Mr Lay won the auction when he offered to spend a day in the toilet in return for a DVD player and some movies for the children's ward at Dunedin Hospital.

 

But unbeknown to Mr Lay, his generous gesture has created an avalanche of donations for the hospital children's ward.

 

A trailer outside the outhouse was overflowing with presents yesterday.

 

"His cause has grown and grown, to the extent people have been stopping by and dropping off gifts for the children and several businesses have even dropped off money in envelopes," Classic Hits co-host Dave Fitzgerald said.
