A new fundraiser from Doctors Without Borders is hoping to raise funds to help fight Ebola in West Africa. And they’re accepting cryptocurrencies to do it.
The campaign, “A Day Without Touch”, encourages participants to go as long as they can without direct skin-to-skin human contact, in order to simulate the struggle those in West Africa face.
The Ebola virus is spread through touching the bodily fluids of a person sick or infected with it, including urine, blood, saliva, vomit, and other unpleasant things. One of the best ways to avoid ebola infection in an area where ebola is rampant is to avoid contact with those who may be infected.
Take The Challenge
In order to take the challenge, you can create a fundraising page on the site adaywithouttouch.org, where you then halt all physical contact with other human beings.
Once you end up touching another person, either accidentally or deliberately, flip a coin. Heads, you live. Tails, you die. This simulates ebola’s lethality.
The campaign is accepting donations in PayPal, as well as Bitcoin and Dogecoin. To donate to the campaign, visit their website.
