Naked in the Snow for Charity

A British woman has started a Facebook craze for people to brave the Arctic weather and pose naked in the snow.

Forty-year-old Leanne Myers stripped to her undies to pose for a picture playing guitar in the snow with 25-year-old neighbor Danielle Smith. In an attempt to give a laugh to her co-workers, she posted the picture on a Facebook page she set up and called it: "Let's get naked in the snow!"

She then invited friends to strip off for their own photos in the snow - and hundreds people have already taken up the challenge in just a few days.

She told reporters, "It is totally amazing, I really had no idea it would take off like this! People have really embraced it, and a lot of the pictures are of friends of friends, but now there's some coming in from people I don't know.

I've had interest from Abu Dhabi and America and people messaging me saying 'we're not in Wiltshire, can we send in a pic?'" Leanne says they are welcome from anywhere, as long as they are kept tasteful."

She has now started a internet site that you can visit here. So far she has collected over 1600 British Pounds towards her goal of 10,000 Pounds for Salisbury District Hospital in England.

If you are inclined to participate, please make sure you wait until the temperature is above 0!
