Throw your mobile far away and earn money for charity

[Bob Crabtree]

Ever felt like flinging your mobile phone as far away as possible? Well on August 20 - at the UK Mobile Phone Throwing Championship - you can do just that and help earn money for the charity ActionAid.

What you'll actually be doing, in truth, is not throwing your own phone but the same one as other competitors. But, even so, on the day you can still get rid of any old (or new) phones you don't want. The competition organiser, sport and adventure club 8th Day UK, will be collecting unwanted phones (and empty inkjet and laser cartridges, too) to pass on to ActionAid Recycling.

Find out more in this HEXUS.headline and let us know here if you really have felt like throwing your phone as far away as possible (or actually done that). And tell us why, of course.
